Context of 1 Kings 10:13

11Hiram's ships had brought gold from Ophir. They also brought from there large loads of good wood, and valuable jewels. 12The king used the wood to make steps for the Lord's temple and for the king's palace. He also used it to make harps and lyres for the musicians. Nobody has ever seen such valuable wood, even until today. So King Solomon gave the Queen of Sheba all the gifts that he chose for her. He gave her everything that she wanted. Then she left Solomon and she returned to her own country with her servants. 14Solomon received 25 tons of gold each year. 15He also received money from traders, from the kings of Arabia and from the rulers of each region in Israel.

See at the end of the chapter, 1 Kings 10:29; (note).Read the comment
