1 Kings 10:14-21

14Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold, 15Besides what he had of the merchants, and of the trade of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.1 16And king Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. 17And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pounds of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. 18Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold. 19The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were arms on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the arms.23 20And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.4 21And all king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver: it was not considered as any thing in the days of Solomon.5
