2 Chronicles 9:10-21
10(And the servantsH5650 alsoH1571 of Huram, and the servantsH5650 of SolomonH8010, who broughtH935 goldH2091 from OphirH211, broughtH935 sandal-wood and preciousH3368 stonesH68.
11And the kingH4428 madeH6213 of the sandal-wood stairs for the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and for the king's houseH1004, and harpsH3658 and lutes for the singersH7891. And there were none such seenH7200 before in the landH776 of JudahH3063.)
12And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 to the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 all her desireH2656, whatever she askedH7592, besides what she had broughtH935 to the kingH4428. And she turnedH2015 and wentH935 to her own landH776, she and her servantsH5650.
13And the weightH4948 of goldH2091 that cameH935 to SolomonH8010 in oneH259 yearH8141 wasH1961 sixH8337 hundredH3967 and sixty-six talentsH3603 of goldH2091,
14besides [what] dealers and merchants broughtH935, and [what] all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152 and the governorsH6346 of the country broughtH935 of goldH2091 and silverH3701 to SolomonH8010.
15And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 twoH3967 hundredH3967 targets of beaten goldH2091, — he applied sixH8337 hundredH3967 [shekels] of beaten goldH2091 to oneH259 target;
16and threeH7969 hundredH3967 shieldsH4043 of beaten goldH2091, — he applied threeH7969 hundredH3967 [shekels] of goldH2091 to oneH259 shieldH4043; and the kingH4428 putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844.
17And the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127, and overlaidH6823 it with pureH2889 goldH2091;
18and the throneH3678 had sixH8337 stepsH4609, with a footstool of goldH2091 fastened to the throneH3678; and there were arms on each side at the placeH4725 of the seatH3678, and twoH8147 lionsH738 stoodH5975 beside the arms;
19and 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.
20And 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: silverH3701 was not of the least account in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010.
21For the king's shipsH591 wentH1980 to TarshishH8659 with the servantsH5650 of HuramH2361: once in threeH7969 yearsH8141 cameH935 the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659, bringingH935 goldH2091 and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, and apes, and peacocks.
