2 Chronicles 8:15-18

15All the priests and the Levites were careful to do exactly what the king had commanded. That included the rooms where they stored valuable things.

16Solomon's workers did all the jobs that he told them to do. They started on the day when they built the foundation of the Lord's temple. They continued to work until they had finished everything. In that way, work on the Lord's temple was complete.

17Then Solomon went to Ezion-Geber and to Elath. They were towns on the coast of the sea, in the land of Edom.

18King Hiram had sailors who knew how to sail ships on the sea. He sent some of these men to work with Solomon's sailors. They sailed to Ophir and they brought back about 15 tons of gold. They gave it to King Solomon.
