2 Chronicles 9:16-20
16He also made threeH7969 hundredH3967 small shieldsH4043 of hammeredH7820 goldH2091; threeH7969 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH20911 wentH5927 intoH5921 eachH259 shieldH4043. And the kingH4428 put themH5414 in the HouseH1004 of the ForestH3293 of LebanonH3844.
17Additionally, the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127 and overlaid itH6823 with pureH2889 goldH2091. 18The throneH3678 had sixH8337 stepsH4609, and a footstoolH3534 of goldH2091 was attached to itH3678H270. There were armrestsH3027 on both sidesH2088 ofH5921 the seatH4725H7675, with a lionH738 standingH5975 besideH681 each armrestH3027. 19TwelveH8147H6240 lionsH738 stoodH5975 onH5921 the sixH8337 stepsH4609, one at either endH2088 of eachH2088 step. NothingH3808 likeH3651 this had ever been madeH6213 for anyH3605 kingdomH4467.
20AllH3605 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 nothingH3972 in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010.
