1 Kings 10:14-21

14The weight of gold that came to Solomon annually was twenty-five tons,

15besides what came from merchants, traders’ merchandise, and all the Arabian kings and governors of the land.

16King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; fifteen pounds of gold went into each shield.

17He made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; nearly four pounds of gold went into each shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

18The king also made a large ivory throne and overlaid it with fine gold.

19The throne had six steps; there was a rounded top at the back of the throne, armrests on either side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.

20Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps, one at each end. Nothing like it had ever been made in any other kingdom.

21All of King Solomon’s drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, since it was considered as nothing in Solomon’s time,
