1 Kings 10:18-27

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 TarshishH86591 at seaH3220 withH5973 Hiram’sH2438 fleetH590, and onceH259 every three yearsH7969H8141 the shipsH590 of TarshishH8659 would arriveH935 bearingH5375 goldH2091, silverH3701, ivoryH8143, apesH6971, and peacocksH8500.2

23So KingH4428 SolomonH8010 surpassedH1431 allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in richesH6239 and wisdomH2451. 24The wholeH3605 worldH776 soughtH1245 an audienceH6440 with SolomonH8010 to hearH8085 the wisdomH2451 thatH834 GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820. 25YearH8141 after yearH8141H1992, each visitorH376 would bringH935 his tributeH4503: articlesH3627 of silverH3701H3627 and goldH2091, clothingH8008, weaponsH5402, spicesH1314, horsesH5483, and mulesH6505.

26SolomonH8010 accumulatedH6223 1,400H505H702H3967 chariotsH7393 and 12,000H8147H6240H505 horsesH6571,4 which he stationedH5148 in the chariotH7393 citiesH5892 and also withH5973 him in JerusalemH3389. 27The kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 as common in JerusalemH3389 as stonesH68, andH5414 cedarH730 as abundantH7230 as sycamoreH8256 in the foothillsH8219.5
