1 Kings 10:11-22
111And the shipsH590 of HiramH2438 asH1571 wellH1571, whichH834 broughtH5375 goldH2091 from OphirH211, broughtH935 inH935 from OphirH211 a veryH3966 greatH7235 number of almugH484 treesH6086 and preciousH3368 stonesH68. 122The kingH4428 madeH6213 from the almugH484 treesH6086 supportsH4552 for the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 and for the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and lyresH3658 and harpsH5035 for the singersH7891; suchH3651 almugH484 treesH6086 have not comeH935 inH935 again, norH3808 have they been seenH7200 to thisH2088 dayH3117.
13And KingH4428 SolomonH8010 grantedH5414 the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 everythingH3605 she desiredH2656, whateverH834 she requestedH7592, besidesH4480H905 whatH834 he gaveH5414 her in proportion to 3his royalH4428 bountyH3027. Then she 4departedH6437 and wentH1980 to her own landH776 5together with her servantsH5650.
146Now the weightH4948 of goldH2091 that cameH935 to SolomonH8010 in oneH259 yearH8141 was 7666H8337H3967H8346 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, 15besidesH905H4480 that from the tradersH376H8446, and the 8waresH4536 of the merchantsH7402 and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the 9ArabsH6152 and the governorsH6346 of the countryH776. 1610KingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 twoH3967 hundredH3967 largeH6793 shieldsH6793 of beatenH7819 goldH2091, 11usingH5927 sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091 on eachH259 largeH6793 shieldH6793. 17And he made 12threeH7969 hundredH3967 small shieldsH4043 of beatenH7819 goldH2091, 13usingH5927 14threeH7969 minasH4488 of goldH2091 on eachH259 shieldH4043; and 15the kingH4428 putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of the timberH3293 of LebanonH3844. 18Moreover, the kingH4428 madeH6213 a largeH1419 throneH3678 of 16ivoryH8127 and overlaidH6823 it with fineH6338 goldH2091. 19There were sixH8337 stepsH4609 to the throneH3678 and a roundH5696 topH7218 to the throneH3678 at its backH310, and 17armrestsH3027 18on eachH2088 sideH2088 of the seatH4725H7675, and twoH8147 lionsH738 standingH5975 besideH681 the 19armrestsH3027. 20TwelveH8147H6240 lionsH738 were standingH5975 thereH8033 on the sixH8337 stepsH4609 on the oneH2088 sideH2088 and on the otherH2088; nothingH3808 likeH3651 it was madeH6213 for 20anyH3605 other kingdomH4467. 21Now allH3605 KingH4428 Solomon’sH8010 drinkingH4945 utensilsH3627 were of goldH2091, and allH3605 the utensilsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the timberH3293 of LebanonH3844 were of pureH5458 goldH2091. NoneH369 was of silverH3701; it was not consideredH2803 as amounting to anythingH3972 in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. 22For 21the kingH4428 had the shipsH590 of TarshishH8659 at seaH3220 with Hiram’sH2438 shipsH590; onceH259 every threeH7969 yearsH8141 the shipsH590 of TarshishH8659 would comeH935 carryingH5375 goldH2091 and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, monkeysH6971, and peacocksH8500.
