1 Kings 10:22-25

22For the king had at sea the [large cargo] ships of Tarshish with the ships of Hiram. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, monkeys, and peacocks.

23So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.

24All the earth was seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put in his mind.

25Every man brought a gift [of tribute]: articles of silver and gold, garments, weapons, spices, horses, and mules, so much year by year.
