2 Chronicles 9:20-27
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 1valuableH3972 in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. 212For 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.
223So KingH4428 SolomonH8010 becameH1431 greaterH1431 thanH4480 allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in wealthH6239 and wisdomH2451. 23And allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 were seekingH1245 the presenceH6440 of SolomonH8010, to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451 whichH834 GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820. 244They were bringingH935, eachH376 of them his giftH4503: articlesH3627 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, garmentsH8008, weaponsH5402, balsamH1314 oilH1314, horsesH5483, and mulesH6505, soH1697 muchH1697 yearH8141 by yearH8141.
25Now SolomonH8010 hadH1961 5fourH702 thousandH505 stallsH723 for horsesH5483 and chariotsH4818 and twelveH8147H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, and he stationedH5117 them in the chariotH7393 citiesH5892 and with the kingH4428 in JerusalemH3389. 266He was rulerH4910 over allH3605 the kingsH4428 from the Euphrates RiverH5104 to the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and as farH5704 as the borderH1366 of EgyptH4714. 277And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 as common as stonesH68 in JerusalemH3389, and he madeH5414 cedarsH730 as plentifulH7230 as sycamoreH8256 treesH8256 that are in the 8lowlandH8219.
