11:010:009 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice. 11:010:010 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. 11:010:011 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones. 11:010:012 And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day. 11:010:013 And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants. 11:010:014 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold, 11:010:015 Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country. 11:010:016 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target. 11:010:017 And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. 11:010:018 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold. 11:010:019 The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays. 11:010:020 And 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. 11:010:021 And 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 nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon. 11:010:022 For 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. 11:010:023 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. 11:010:024 And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
