2Chronicles:9:13-22
rsv@2Chronicles:9:13 @ Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
rsv@2Chronicles:9:14 @ besides that which the traders and merchants brought; and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon.
rsv@2Chronicles:9:15 @ King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went into each shield.
rsv@2Chronicles:9:16 @ And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield; and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
rsv@2Chronicles:9:17 @ The king also made a great ivory throne, and overlaid it with pure gold.
rsv@2Chronicles:9:18 @ The throne had six steps and a footstool of gold, which were attached to the throne, and on each side of the seat were arm rests and two lions standing beside the arm rests,
rsv@2Chronicles:9:19 @ while twelve lions stood there, one on each end of a step on the six steps. The like of it was never made in any kingdom.
rsv@2Chronicles:9:20 @ All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; silver was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon.
rsv@2Chronicles:9:21 @ For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years the ships of Tarshish used to come bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
rsv@2Chronicles:9:22 @ Thus King Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
