Contextual Overview

¹⁰ By the end of twenty years, King Solomon had built two buildings—the Temple of the Lord and the royal palace. ¹¹ At that time King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had helped with the buildings. Hiram had given Solomon all the cedar, pine, and gold he wanted. ¹² So Hiram traveled from Tyre to see the towns Solomon had given him, but when he saw them, he was not pleased. ¹³ He asked, "What good are these towns you have given me, my brother?" So he named them the Land of Cabul, and they are still called that today. ¹⁴ Hiram had sent Solomon about nine thousand pounds of gold.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Hiram sent to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold. Not after the cities had been given him, but before; and it may be rendered "had sent" m, and is the sum of the gold he furnished him with for the temple, 1 Kings 9:11 which, according to Brerewood n, was 540,000 pounds of our money; and, according to another o writer, it amounted to 1,466,400 ducats of gold, taking a talent at 12,220 ducats.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hiram sent sixscore talents of gold - Apparently, to show that, although disappointed, he was not offended. The sum sent was very large - above a million and a quarter of our money, according to one estimate of the weight of the Hebrew gold talent; or about 720,000 according to the estimate adopted in Exodus 38:24-29 note. At any rate, it was more than equal to a sixth part of Solomon’s regular revenue 1 Kings 10:14.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 9:14. Sixscore talents of gold. — This was the sum which Hiram had lent, and in order to pay this Solomon had laid a tax upon his people, as we afterward learn. The whole is very darkly expressed.
