Contextual Overview

¹³ Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents; ¹⁴ And in addition to what he got from traders of different sorts, all the kings of Arabia and the rulers of the country gave gold and silver to Solomon. ¹⁵ And King Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it. ¹⁶ And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, using three hundred shekels of gold for every cover, and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon. ¹⁷ Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold. ¹⁸ There were six steps up to it, and a foot-rest of gold fixed to it, and arms on the two sides of the seat, with two lions at the side of the arms. ¹⁹ And twelve lions were placed on one side and on the other side on the six steps: there was nothing like it in any kingdom. ²⁰ All King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold: no one gave a thought to silver in the days of Solomon. ²¹ For the king had Tarshish-ships sailing with the servants of Huram: once every three years the Tarshish-ships came back with gold and silver, ivory and monkeys and peacocks. ²² And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
