1 Kings 10:11-22

11(The fleetH590 of HiramH2438 thatH834 broughtH5375 goldH2091 from OphirH211 alsoH1571 broughtH935 from OphirH211 a great cargoH7235H3966 of almugH4841 woodH6086 and preciousH3368 stonesH68. 12The kingH4428 madeH6213 the almugH484 woodH6086 into stepsH4552 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 and for the king’sH4428 palaceH1004, and into lyresH3658 and harpsH5035 for the singersH7891. NeverH3808 before had suchH3651 almugH484 woodH6086 been brought inH935, nor has suchH3808 been seen againH7200 toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117.)

13KingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 allH3605 she desiredH2656—whateverH834 she askedH7592—besidesH905 whatH834 he had givenH5414 her out ofH8010 his royalH4428 bountyH3027. Then she leftH6437 and returnedH1980 to her own countryH776, along with her servantsH5650.

14The weightH4948 of goldH2091 thatH834 cameH935 to SolomonH8010 each yearH8141H259 wasH1961 666H8337H3967H8346 talentsH3603,2 15not includingH905 the revenueH4536 from the merchantsH582H8446, tradersH7402, and allH3605 the ArabianH6152 kingsH4428 and governorsH6346 of the landH776.

16KingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 two hundredH3967 large shieldsH6793 of hammeredH7820 goldH2091; sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH20913 wentH5927 intoH5921 eachH259 shieldH6793. 17He also made threeH7969 hundredH3967 small shieldsH4043 of hammeredH7820 goldH2091; threeH7969 minasH4488 of goldH20914 wentH5927 intoH5921 eachH259 shieldH4043. And the kingH4428 put themH5414 in the HouseH1004 of the ForestH3293 of LebanonH3844.

18Additionally, the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127 and overlaid itH6823 with pureH6338 goldH2091. 19The throneH3678 had sixH8337 stepsH4609, and its backH310H3678 had a roundedH5696 topH7218. There were armrestsH3027 on both sidesH2088 ofH413 the seatH4725H7675, withH8147 a lionH738 standingH5975 besideH681 each armrestH3027. 20TwelveH8147H6240 lionsH738 stoodH5975 onH5921 the sixH8337 stepsH4609, one at either endH2088 of eachH2088 step. NothingH3808 likeH3651 this had ever been madeH6213 for anyH3605 kingdomH4467.

21AllH3605 KingH4428 Solomon’sH8010 drinkingH4945 cupsH3627 were goldH2091, and allH3605 the utensilsH3627 of the HouseH1004 of the ForestH3293 of LebanonH3844 were pureH5462 goldH2091. There was noH369 silverH3701, because it was accountedH2803 as nothingH3808H3972 in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. 22ForH3588 the king hadH4428 the shipsH590 of TarshishH86595 at seaH3220 withH5973 Hiram’sH2438 fleetH590, and onceH259 every three yearsH7969H8141 the shipsH590 of TarshishH8659 would arriveH935 bearingH5375 goldH2091, silverH3701, ivoryH8143, apesH6971, and peacocksH8500.6
