Solomon's splendor
1 Kings 10:14-25
14And the weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty and six talents of gold, 15besides that from the men who traveled the land and from the trade of the traders, and from all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land. 16And King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each large shield; 17and three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went into each shield; and the king put them in the house of the Forest of Lebanon. 18And the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with refined gold. 19There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round at its back; and there were arms on this side and on that of the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms. 20And twelve lions stood there on the six steps, on this side and on that; nothing like it was made in any kingdom. 21And all the drinking vessels of King Solomon were of gold, and all the utensils of the house of the Forest of Lebanon were of fine gold; there was no silver; it was not considered in the days of Solomon as anything. 22For the king had ships of Tarshish at sea with the ships of Hiram; once every three years the ships of Tarshish would come, carrying gold and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 23And King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. 24And all the earth was seeking the face of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which Elohim had put in his heart. 25And they were bringing, each his tribute: utensils of silver and utensils of gold, and cloaks, and weapons, and spices, horses and mules, what was due for a year, year by year.

The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon. 17The king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. 18There were six steps to the throne and a footstool of gold, attached to the throne, and arms on this side and on that side of the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms. 19Twelve lions stood there on the six steps, on this side and on that side; nothing like it was made for any kingdom. 20All the drinking vessels of King Solomon were of gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of fine gold; silver was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon. 21For the king had ships going to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years the ships of Tarshish would come carrying gold and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. 22King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. 23All the kings of the earth sought the face of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which Elohim had put in his heart. 24They brought each his tribute: utensils of silver and utensils of gold, cloaks, weapons, spices, horses, and mules, what was due for the year, year by year.
