1 Kings 10:17-21

17He made 1300 shields of beaten gold, 2using three minas of gold on each shield, and 3the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

18Moreover, the king made a great throne of 4ivory and overlaid it with refined gold.

19There were six steps to the throne and a round top to the throne at its rear, and 5arms 6on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the 7arms.

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 8valuable in the days of Solomon.
