2 Chronicles 9:13-24

13NowH1961 the weightH4948 of goldH2091 that cameH935 to SolomonH8010 in one yearH8141 was sixH8337 hundredH3967 and threescore and sixH8337 talentsH3603 of goldH2091;

14beside that which the chapmen and merchantsH5503 broughtH935: and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152 and the governorsH6346 of the countryH776 broughtH935 goldH2091 and silverH3701 to SolomonH8010.

15And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 twoH3967 hundredH3967 targets of beaten goldH2091: sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of beaten goldH2091 wentH5927 to one target.

16And he madeH5414 threeH7969 hundredH3967 shieldsH4043 of beaten goldH2091; threeH7969 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091 wentH5927 to one 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.

18And there were sixH8337 stepsH4609 to the throneH3678, with a footstoolH3534 of goldH2091, whichH2088 were fastenedH270 to the throneH3678, and staysH3427 on eitherH2088 sideH2088 by the placeH4725 of the seatH3678, and twoH8147 lionsH738 standingH5975 besideH5921 the staysH3427.

19And 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.

20And 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: silverH3701 was nothingH369 accountedH2803 of in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010.

21For the kingH4428 had shipsH591 that wentH1980 to TarshishH8659 with the servantsH5650 of HuramH2361: onceH259 everyH259 threeH7969 yearsH8141 cameH935 the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659, bringingH935 goldH2091, and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, and apesH6971, and peacocksH8500.

22SoH1431 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 exceeded allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in richesH6239 and wisdomH2451.

23And allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 soughtH1245 the presenceH6440 of SolomonH8010, to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451, whichH834 GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820.

24And they broughtH935 very manH376 his presentH4503, vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and raiment, armour, and spicesH1314, horsesH5483, and mulesH6505, a rate yearH8141 by yearH8141.
