2 Chronicles 9:13-28

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.

22And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 was greaterH1431 than all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in richesH6239 and wisdomH2451.

23And all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 soughtH1245 the presenceH6440 of SolomonH8010, to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451, which 1GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820.

24And they broughtH935 every manH376 his present, vesselsH3627 of silverH3701 and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and clothing, armour, and spicesH1314, horsesH5483 and mulesH6505, a rate yearH8141 by yearH8141.

25And SolomonH8010 had fourH702 thousandH505 stallsH723 for horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393, and twelve thousandH505 horsemenH6571; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389.

26And he ruledH4910 over all the kingsH4428 from the riverH5104 as far as the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and up to the borderH1366 of EgyptH4714.

27And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 in JerusalemH3389 as stonesH68, and cedarsH730 madeH5414 he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundanceH7230.

28And they broughtH3318 to SolomonH8010 horsesH5483 out of EgyptH4714, and out of all landsH776.
