2 Chronicles 9:20-27
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. 23AllH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 soughtH1245 an audienceH6440 with SolomonH8010 to hearH8085 the wisdomH2451 thatH834 GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820. 24YearH8141 after yearH8141, each visitorH376 would bringH935 his tributeH4503: articlesH3627 of silverH3701H3627 and goldH2091, clothingH8008, weaponsH5402, spicesH1314, horsesH5483, and mulesH6505.
25SolomonH8010 hadH1961 4,000H702H505 stallsH723 for horsesH5483 and chariotsH4818, and 12,000H8147H6240H505 horsesH6571,4 which he stationedH5117 in the chariotH7393 citiesH5892 and also withH5973 him in JerusalemH3389. 26He reignedH4910 over allH3605 the kingsH4428 fromH4480 the EuphratesH51045 toH5704 the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, asH5704 far as the borderH1366 of EgyptH4714. 27The kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 as common in JerusalemH3389 as stonesH68, andH5414 cedarH730 as abundantH7230 as sycamoreH8256 in the foothillsH8219.6
