1 Kings 10:14-28
14And the weightH4948 of goldH2091 that cameH935 to SolomonH8010 in oneH259 yearH8141 wasH1961 sixH8337 hundredH3967 and sixty-six talentsH3603 of goldH2091,
15besides what [came] by the dealers, and by the traffic of the merchants, and by all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152, and by the governorsH6346 of the country.
16And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 twoH3967 hundredH3967 targets of beaten goldH2091, — he applied sixH8337 hundredH3967 [shekels] of goldH2091 to oneH259 target;
17and threeH7969 hundredH3967 shieldsH4043 of beaten goldH2091, — he applied threeH7969 minasH4488 of goldH2091 to oneH259 shieldH4043; and the kingH4428 putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844.
18And the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127, and overlaidH6823 it with refined goldH2091:
19the throneH3678 had sixH8337 stepsH4609, and the topH7218 of the throneH3678 was rounded behind; and there were arms on each side at the placeH4725 of the seatH3678, and twoH8147 lionsH738 stoodH5975 beside the arms;
20and twelve lionsH738 stoodH5975 there on the oneH2088 side and on the other upon the sixH8337 stepsH4609: there was not the like madeH6213 in any kingdomH4467.
21And all kingH4428 Solomon's drinking vesselsH3627 were of goldH2091, and all the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844 were of precious goldH2091: none were of silverH3701, [which] was not of the least account in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010.
22For the kingH4428 had on the seaH3220 a Tarshish-fleet, with the fleet of HiramH2438: once in threeH7969 yearsH8141 cameH935 the Tarshish-fleet, bringingH935 goldH2091 and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, and apes, and peacocks.
23And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 was greaterH1431 than all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in richesH6239 and in wisdomH2451.
24And all the earthH776 soughtH1245 the presenceH6440 of SolomonH8010, to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451, which 1GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820.
25And they broughtH935 every manH376 his present, vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and clothing, and armour, and spicesH1314, horsesH5483 and mulesH6505, a rate yearH8141 by yearH8141.
26And SolomonH8010 gatheredH622 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571; and he had a thousandH505 fourH702 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393, and twelve thousandH505 horsemenH6571; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389.
27And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 in JerusalemH3389 as stonesH68, and cedarsH730 madeH5414 he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundanceH7230.
28And the exportation of horsesH5483 that SolomonH8010 had was from EgyptH4714: a caravan of the king's merchants fetched a drove [of horsesH5483], at a priceH4242.
