1 Kings 10:18-23

18Moreover, the kingH4428 madeH6213 a largeH1419 throneH3678 of 1ivoryH8127 and overlaidH6823 it with fineH6338 goldH2091. 19There were sixH8337 stepsH4609 to the throneH3678 and a roundH5696 topH7218 to the throneH3678 at its backH310, and 2armrestsH3027 3on eachH2088 sideH2088 of the seatH4725H7675, and twoH8147 lionsH738 standingH5975 besideH681 the 4armrestsH3027. 20TwelveH8147H6240 lionsH738 were standingH5975 thereH8033 on the sixH8337 stepsH4609 on the oneH2088 sideH2088 and on the otherH2088; nothingH3808 likeH3651 it was madeH6213 for 5anyH3605 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 6the 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.

237So KingH4428 SolomonH8010 becameH1431 greaterH1431 thanH4480 allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in wealthH6239 and wisdomH2451.
