1 Kings 10:22-25

22The king had a fleet of trading ships of Tarshish that sailed with Hiram’s fleet. Once every three years the ships returned, loaded with gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.

23So King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king on earth.

24People from every nation came to consult him and to hear the wisdom God had given him.

25Year after year everyone who visited brought him gifts of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
