1 Kings 10:14-21
14Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,
15besides that which came from the explorers and from the business of the merchants, and from all the kings of the west and from the governors of the land.
16King Solomon made 200 large shields of beaten gold; 600 shekels of gold went into each shield.
17And he made 300 shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
18The king also made a great ivory throne and overlaid it with the finest gold.
19The throne had six steps, and the throne had a round top, and on each side of the seat were armrests and two lions standing beside the armrests,
20while twelve lions stood there, one on each end of a step on the six steps. The like of it was never made in any kingdom.
21All King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver; silver was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon.
