2 Chronicles 9:17-22
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. 21ForH3588 the king hadH4428 the shipsH591 of TarshishH86591 that wentH1980 withH5973 Hiram’sH23612 servantsH5650, and onceH259 every threeH7969 yearsH8141 the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 would arriveH935 bearingH5375 goldH2091, silverH3701, ivoryH8143, apesH6971, and peacocksH8500.3
22So KingH4428 SolomonH8010 surpassedH1431 allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in richesH6239 and wisdomH2451.
