132Now the weightH4948 of goldH2091 thatH834 cameH935 to SolomonH8010 in oneH259 yearH8141 was 3666H8337H3967H8346 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, 14besidesH905H4480 what the tradersH376H8446 and merchantsH5503 broughtH935; and allH3605 4the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152 and the governorsH6346 of the countryH776 broughtH935 goldH2091 and silverH3701 to SolomonH8010. 15KingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 twoH3967 hundredH3967 largeH6793 shieldsH6793 of beatenH7819 goldH2091, 5usingH5927 sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of beatenH7819 goldH2091 on eachH259 largeH6793 shieldH6793. 16He made threeH7969 hundredH3967 shieldsH4043 of beatenH7819 goldH2091, 6usingH5927 threeH7969 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091 on eachH259 shieldH4043; and the kingH4428 putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844.
17Moreover, the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127, and overlaidH6823 it with pureH2889 goldH2091. 18There were sixH8337 stepsH4609 to the throneH3678 and a footstoolH3534 in goldH2091 attachedH270 to the throneH3678, and 7armsH3027 8on eachH2088 sideH2088 of the seatH4725H7675, and twoH8147 lionsH738 standingH5975 besideH681 the 9armsH3027. 19TwelveH8147H6240 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. 20AllH3605 KingH4428 Solomon’sH8010 drinkingH4945 vesselsH3627 were of goldH2091, and allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844 were of pureH5458 goldH2091; silverH3701 was not consideredH2803 10valuableH3972 in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. 2111For the kingH4428 had shipsH591 which wentH1980 to TarshishH8659 with the servantsH5650 of HuramH2361; onceH259 every threeH7969 yearsH8141 the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 cameH935 bringingH5375 goldH2091 and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, apesH6971, and peacocksH8500.
