SoH5414 sheH1931 turnedH6437, and went to herH3605 own landH776, sheH1931 and herH3605 servantsH5650. 14NowH1961 the weightH4948 of goldH2091 that cameH935 to SolomonH8010 in one yearH8141 was sixH8337 hundredH3967 threescore and sixH8337 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, 15beside that which the chapmen brought, and the traffic of the merchantsH7402, and of allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the mingled peopleH376, and of the governorsH6346 of the countryH776. 16And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 twoH3967 hundredH3967 targets of beaten goldH2091: sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091 wentH5927 to one target. 17And he madeH5414 threeH7969 hundredH3967 shieldsH4043 of beaten goldH2091; threeH7969 pounds of goldH2091 wentH5927 to one shieldH4043: and the kingH4428 putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844; 18Moreover the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127, and overlaidH6823 it with the finest goldH2091. 19There were sixH8337 stepsH4609 to the throneH3678, and the topH7218 of the throneH3678 was roundH5696 behindH310: and there were staysH3027 on eitherH2088 sideH2088 by the placeH4725 of the seatH3678, and twoH8147 lionsH738 standingH5975 besideH681 the staysH3027. 20And twelveH6240 lionsH738 stoodH5975 there on the one sideH2088 and on the otherH2088 uponH5921 the sixH8337 stepsH4609: there was notH3808 the like madeH6213 in anyH3605 kingdomH4467. 21And allH3605 kingH4428 Solomon’sH8010 drinking vesselsH3627 were of goldH2091, and allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844 were of pureH5462 goldH2091: noneH369 were of silverH3701; it was nothingH3808 accountedH2803 of in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. 22For the kingH4428 had at seaH3220 a navy of TarshishH8659 with the navy of HiramH2438: onceH259 everyH259 threeH7969 yearsH8141 cameH935 the navy of TarshishH8659, bringingH935 goldH2091, and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, and apesH6971, and peacocksH8500. 23SoH1431 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 exceeded allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in richesH6239 and in wisdomH2451. 24And allH3605 the earthH776 soughtH1245 the presenceH6440 of SolomonH8010, to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451, whichH834 GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820. 25And they broughtH935 everyH376 manH376 his presentH4503, vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and raiment, and armour, and spicesH1314, horsesH5483, and mulesH6505, a rate yearH8141 by yearH8141. 26And SolomonH8010 gatheredH622 togetherH622 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571: and he had a thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393, and twelveH6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, which he bestowed in the chariotH7393 citiesH5892, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389. 27And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 to be in JerusalemH3389 as stonesH68, and cedarsH730 madeH5414 he to be as the sycomore treesH8256 that are in the lowlandH8219, for abundanceH7230. 28And the horsesH5483 whichH834 SolomonH8010 had were broughtH3947 out of EgyptH4714; and the king’sH4428 merchantsH5503 receivedH3947 them in droves, each drove at a priceH4242. 29And a chariotH4818 cameH3318 upH5927 and wentH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714 for sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH3701 of silverH3701, and an horseH5483 for an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572: and soH3651 for allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850, and for the kingsH4428 of SyriaH758, didH3651 they bringH3318 them outH3318 by their meansH3027.
