1 Kings 10:17-21

17And he made 1three hundred small shields of beaten gold, 2using 3three minas of gold on each shield; and 4the king put them in the house of the timber of Lebanon.

18Moreover, the king made a large throne of 5ivory and overlaid it with fine gold.

19There were six steps to the throne and a round top to the throne at its back, and 6armrests 7on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the 8armrests.

20Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for 9any other kingdom.

21Now all King Solomon’s drinking utensils were of gold, and all the utensils of the house of the timber of Lebanon were of pure gold. None was of silver; it was not considered as amounting to anything in the days of Solomon.
