1 Kings 10:14-28

14Now the weightH4948 of goldH2091 that cameH935 to SolomonH8010 in oneH259 yearH8141 wasH1961 sixH8337 hundredH3967 threescore and sixH8337 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, 15besides that which the tradersH7402 brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kingsH4428 of the mingled people, and of the governorsH6346 of the country. 16And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 twoH3967 hundredH3967 bucklers of beaten goldH2091; sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091 wentH5927 to oneH259 buckler. 17And he madeH5414 threeH7969 hundredH3967 shieldsH4043 of beaten goldH2091; threeH7969 pounds of goldH2091 wentH5927 to oneH259 shieldH4043: and the kingH4428 putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844. 18Moreover the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127, and overlaidH6823 it with the finest goldH2091. 19There were sixH8337 stepsH4609 to the throneH3678, and the topH7218 of the throneH3678 was roundH5696 behind; and there were stays on either side by the placeH4725 of the seatH3678, and twoH8147 lionsH738 standingH5975 beside the stays. 20And twelve lionsH738 stoodH5975 there on the oneH2088 side and on the other upon the sixH8337 stepsH4609: there was not the like madeH6213 in any kingdomH4467. 21And all kingH4428 Solomon’s drinking vesselsH3627 were of goldH2091, and all the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844 were of pureH5462 goldH2091: none were of silverH3701; it was nothing accountedH2803 of in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. 22For the kingH4428 had at seaH3220 a navy of TarshishH8659 with the navy of HiramH2438: once every threeH7969 yearsH8141 cameH935 the navy of TarshishH8659, bringingH935 goldH2091, and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, and apes, and peacocks.

23So kingH4428 SolomonH8010 exceeded all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in richesH6239 and in wisdomH2451. 24And all the earthH776 soughtH1245 the presenceH6440 of SolomonH8010, to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451, which GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820. 25And they broughtH935 every manH376 his tributeH4503, vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and raiment, and armorH3627, and spicesH1314, horsesH5483, and mulesH6505, a rate yearH8141 by yearH8141.

26And SolomonH8010 gatheredH622 together chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571: and he had a thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393, and twelve thousandH505 horsemenH6571, that he bestowed in the chariotH7393 citiesH5892, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389. 27And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 to be in JerusalemH3389 as stonesH68, and cedarsH730 madeH5414 he to be as the sycomore-trees that are in the lowland, for abundanceH7230. 28And the horsesH5483 which SolomonH8010 had were brought out of EgyptH4714; and the king’sH4428 merchants receivedH3947 them in droves, each drove at a priceH4242.
