Bible. Chronicles, 2nd
14:009:009 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold,
and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither
was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king
Solomon.
14:009:010 And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon,
which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and
precious stones.
14:009:011 And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of
the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries
for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land
of Judah.
14:009:012 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire,
whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto
the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she
and her servants.
14:009:013 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was
six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;
14:009:014 Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the
kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and
silver to Solomon.
14:009:015 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six
hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target.
14:009:016 And three hundred shields made he of beaten gold: three
hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king put
them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
14:009:017 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid
it with pure gold.
14:009:018 And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of
gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each
side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the
stays:
14:009:019 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.
14:009:020 And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon 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 any thing accounted
of in the days of Solomon.
14:009:021 For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of
Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish
bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
14:009:022 And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches
and wisdom.
14:009:023 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon,
to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
14:009:024 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and
vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and
mules, a rate year by year.
