1 Kings 10:22-25

22For the king had on the sea a Tarshish-fleet, with the fleet of Hiram: once in three years came the Tarshish-fleet, bringing gold and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

23And king Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.

24And all the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which 1God had put in his heart.

25And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, and armour, and spices, horses and mules, a rate year by year.
