1 Kings 10:14-21

14 1Now the weight of gold which came in to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,

15besides that from the traders and the 2wares of the merchants and all the kings of the 3Arabs and the governors of the country.

16 4King Solomon made 200 large shields of beaten gold, 5using 600 shekels of gold on each large shield.

17He made 6300 shields of beaten gold, 7using three minas of gold on each shield, and 8the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

18Moreover, the king made a great throne of 9ivory and overlaid it with refined gold.

19There were six steps to the throne and a round top to the throne at its rear, and 10arms 11on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the 12arms.

20Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other 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 was of silver; it was not considered 13valuable in the days of Solomon.
