2 Chronicles 9:15

2 Chronicles 9:13-24

¹³The weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold, ¹⁴besides what the men who traveled about and the merchants brought; and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon. ¹⁵King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went into each large shield; ¹⁶and three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield. 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.

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.
