Contextual Overview
13 And the weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty six talents of gold, 14 besides that from the traders, and that the merchants were bringing in. And all the kings of Arabia, and the rulers of the land, were bringing in gold and silver to Solomon. 15 And King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; he put six hundred shekels of beaten gold on the one buckler; 16 and three hundred shields of beaten gold; he put three hundred shekels of gold on the one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. 17 And the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold; 18 and there were six steps to the throne, and a footstool of gold was fastened to the throne; and hands were on this side and on that, at the place of the sitting; and two lions were standing near the hands; 19 and twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on this side and on that. There was not any such made for any kingdom. 20 And all the drinking vessels of King Solomon were gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon of refined gold. Silver was not counted for anything in the days of Solomon. 21 For the ships of the king were going to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram. Once in three years the ships came from Tarshish bearing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 22 And King Solomon increased more than any of the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom.
