Contextual Overview
13 The weight of the gold Shlomo received annually came to twenty-two tons, 14 besides that which came from customs duties and sales taxes; also all the Arab kings and regional governors brought gold and silver to Shlomo. 15 King Shlomo made 200 large shields of hammered gold; fifteen pounds of hammered gold went into one shield. 16 He made 300 more shields of hammered gold, with seven-and-a-half pounds going into one shield; the king put these in the House of the L'vanon Forest. 17 The king also made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. 18 The throne had six steps and a gold footstool; these were fastened to the throne. There were arms on either side of the seat, two lions standing beside the arms, 19 and twelve more lions standing on each side of the six steps. Nothing like it had ever been made in any kingdom. 20 All King Shlomo's drinking vessels were of gold; and all the utensils in the House of the L'vanon Forest were of pure gold; for in Shlomo's time, silver was regarded as having little value. 21 The king had ships that could go to Tarshish with Huram's servants; once every three years the "Tarshish" ships came in, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes and peacocks. 22 So King Shlomo surpassed all the kings on earth in both wealth and wisdom.
