所羅門的一切杯爵都是金子做的;黎巴嫩林宮裡的一切器皿也都是精金做的,沒有用銀子做的;原來在所羅門王的時代,銀子算不得甚麼。

Contextual Overview

14 Every year King Solomon received about fifty thousand pounds of gold. 15 Besides that, he also received gold from the traders and merchants, as well as from the kings of Arabia and governors of the land. 16 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold, each of which contained about seven and one-half pounds of gold. 17 He also made three hundred smaller shields of hammered gold, each of which contained about four pounds of gold. The king put them in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. 18 The king built a large throne of ivory and covered it with fine gold. 19 The throne had six steps on it, and its back was round at the top. There were armrests on both sides of the chair, and each armrest had a lion beside it. 20 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one lion at each end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any other kingdom. 21 All of Solomon's drinking cups, as well as the dishes in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon, were made of pure gold. Nothing was made from silver, because silver was not valuable in Solomon's time. 22 King Solomon also had many trading ships at sea, along with Hiram's ships. Every three years the ships returned, bringing back gold, silver, ivory, apes, and baboons. 23 So Solomon had more riches and wisdom than all the other kings on earth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all King Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold,.... Such quantities of it were brought to him from Ophir, and paid to him in tribute, and given him as presents:

and all the vessels of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; not only what were used in his palace at Jerusalem, but in his country house at some little distance:

none were of silver; it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon; to make plate of; or silver plate was but little esteemed, and scarce any use of it made in Solomon's palace, if at all: though doubtless it was elsewhere, and especially silver as money.
