2 Chronicles 9:17-22

17Moreover the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127, and overlaidH6823 it with pureH2889 goldH2091. 18And there were sixH8337 stepsH4609 to the throneH3678, with a footstool of goldH2091, which were fastened to the throneH3678, and stays on either side by the placeH4725 of the seatH3678, and twoH8147 lionsH738 standingH5975 beside the stays. 19And 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. 20And 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: silverH3701 was nothingH369 accountedH2803 of in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. 21For the kingH4428 had shipsH591 that wentH1980 to TarshishH8659 with the servantsH5650 of HuramH2361; once every threeH7969 yearsH8141 cameH935 the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659, bringingH935 goldH2091, and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, and apes, and peacocks.

22So kingH4428 SolomonH8010 exceeded all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in richesH6239 and wisdomH2451.
