Contextual Overview

13And the weight of the gold that is coming to Solomon in one year is six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold, 14apart from [what] the tourists and the merchants are bringing in; and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the land, are bringing in gold and silver to Solomon. 15And King Solomon makes two hundred bucklers of alloyed gold—he causes six hundred [shekels] of alloyed gold to go up on the one buckler; 16and three hundred shields of alloyed gold—he causes three hundred [shekels] of gold to go up on the one shield, and the king puts them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon. 17And the king makes a great throne of ivory, and overlays it with pure gold; 18and six steps [are] to the throne, and a footstool of gold, [and] they are fastened to the throne; and [places for] hands [are] on this [side] and on that [side] on the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands, 19and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps on this [side] and on that [side]: it has not been made so for any kingdom. 20And all the drinking vessels of King Solomon [are] of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon [are] of refined gold—silver is not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything; 21for ships of the king are going to Tarshish with servants of Huram: once in three years the ships of Tarshish come carrying gold, and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks [[or monkeys]]. 22And King Solomon becomes greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom;

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

brought: Moses, says Bp. Warburton, "had expressly prohibited the multiplying of horses - Deuteronomy 17:16, by which the future king was forbidden to establish a body of calvary, because this could not be effected without sending into Egypt, with which people God had forbidden any communication, as this would be dangerous to religion. When Solomon had violated this law, and multiplied horses to excess - 1 Kings 4:26, it was soon attended with those fatal consequences that the law foretold: for this wisest of kings having likewise, in violation of another law, married Pharaoh's daughter - the early fruits of this commerce and then, by a repetition of the same crime, but a transgression of another law, had espoused more strange women - 1 Kings 4:26, 1 Kings 11:1, they first,in defiance of a fourth law, persuaded him to build them idol temples for their use; and afterwards, against a fifth law, brought him to erect other temples for his own." 2 Chronicles 9:25, 2 Chronicles 1:16, 1 Kings 10:28, Isaiah 2:7, Isaiah 2:8, Isaiah 31:1 "

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And out of all lands - An addition to the words in Kings. The principal countries would no doubt be Arabia and Armenia - the former always famous for its excellent breed; the latter mentioned in Ezekiel Ezekiel 27:14 as trading with horses in the fairs of Tyre.
