1 Kings 10:22-25

22For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.1 23So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. 24And all the earth consulted Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.2 25And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
