1 Kings 10:14-29

141Now the weightH4948 of goldH2091 whichH834 cameH935 in to SolomonH8010 in oneH259 yearH8141 was 666H8337H3967H8346 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, 15besidesH905H4480 that from the tradersH376H8446 and the 2waresH4536 of the merchantsH7402 and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the 3ArabsH6152 and the governorsH6346 of the countryH776. 164KingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 200H3967 largeH6793 shieldsH6793 of beatenH7819 goldH2091, 5usingH5927 600H8337H3967 shekels of goldH2091 on eachH259 largeH6793 shieldH6793. 17He made 6300H7969H3967 shieldsH4043 of beatenH7819 goldH2091, 7usingH5927 threeH7969 minasH4488 of goldH2091 on eachH259 shieldH4043, and 8the kingH4428 putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844. 18Moreover, the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of 9ivoryH8127 and overlaidH6823 it with refinedH6338 goldH2091. 19There were sixH8337 stepsH4609 to the throneH3678 and a roundH5696 topH7218 to the throneH3678 at its rearH310, and 10armsH3027 11on eachH3117 sideH2088 of the seatH4725H7675, and twoH8147 lionsH738 standingH5975 besideH681 the 12armsH3027. 20TwelveH8147H6240 lionsH738 were standingH5975 thereH8033 on the sixH8337 stepsH4609 on the oneH2088 sideH2088 and on the otherH2088; nothingH3808 likeH3651 it was madeH6213 for anyH3605 other kingdomH4467. 21AllH3605 KingH4428 Solomon’sH8010 drinkingH4945 vesselsH3627 were of goldH2091, and allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844 were of pureH5462 goldH2091. NoneH369 was of silverH3701; it was not consideredH2803 13valuableH3972 in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. 22For 14the kingH4428 had at seaH3220 the shipsH590 of TarshishH8659 with the shipsH590 of HiramH2438; onceH259 every threeH7969 yearsH8141 the shipsH590 of TarshishH8659 cameH935 bringingH5375 goldH2091 and silverH3701, ivoryH8143 and apesH6971 and peacocksH8500.

2315So KingH4428 SolomonH8010 becameH1431 greaterH1431 thanH4480 allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in richesH6239 and in wisdomH2451. 24AllH3605 the earthH776 was seekingH1245 the presenceH6440 of SolomonH8010, 16to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451 whichH834 GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820. 2517They broughtH935 everyH376 manH376 his giftH4503, articlesH3627 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, garmentsH8008, weaponsH5402, spicesH1314, horsesH5483, and mulesH6505, soH1697 muchH1697 yearH8141 by yearH8141.

2618Now SolomonH8010 gatheredH622 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571; and he hadH1961 1,400H505H702H3967 chariotsH7393 and 12,000H8147H6240H505 horsemenH6571, and he 19stationedH5148 them in the 20chariotH7393 citiesH5892 and with the kingH4428 in JerusalemH3389. 2721The kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 as common as stonesH68 in JerusalemH3389, and he madeH5414 cedarsH730 as plentifulH7230 as sycamoreH8256 treesH8256 that are in the 22lowlandH8219. 2823Also Solomon’sH8010 importH4161 of horsesH5483 was from EgyptH4714 and KueH6961, and the king’sH4428 merchantsH5503 procuredH3947 them from KueH6961 for a priceH4242. 29A chariotH4818 24was importedH5927H3318 from EgyptH4714 for 600H8337H3967 shekels of silverH3701, and a horseH5483 for 150H2572H3967; and 25by the sameH3651 meansH3651H3027 they exportedH3318 them 26to allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850 and to the kingsH4428 of the ArameansH758.
