Everyone who came brought gifts—artifacts of gold and silver, fashionable robes and gowns, the latest in weapons, exotic spices, horses, and mules—parades of visitors, year after year.

Contextual Overview

¹³ Solomon received about twenty-five tons of gold each year, ¹⁴ not counting what the merchants and traders brought him. The kings of Arabia and the leaders of Israel also gave him gold and silver. ¹⁵ Solomon made two hundred gold shields that weighed about seven and a half pounds each. ¹⁶ He also made three hundred smaller gold shields that weighed almost four pounds, and he put these shields in his palace in Forest Hall. ¹⁷ His throne was made of ivory and covered with pure gold. ¹⁸ It had a gold footstool attached to it and armrests on each side. There was a statue of a lion on each side of the throne, ¹⁹ and there were two lion statues on each of the six steps leading up to the throne. No other throne in the world was like Solomon's. ²⁰ Solomon's cups and dishes in Forest Hall were made of pure gold, because silver was almost worthless in those days. ²¹ Solomon had a lot of seagoing ships. Every three years he sent them out with Hiram's ships to bring back gold, silver, and ivory, as well as monkeys and peacocks. ²² Solomon was the richest and wisest king in the world.
