And all the kynges of the Arabians, and the lordes in ye londe broughte golde and syluer vnto Salomon. ¹⁵ Of the which kynge Salomon made two hundreth speares of beaten golde, so yt sixe hundreth peces of beaten golde came vpo one speare: ¹⁶ & thre hundreth shildes of beaten golde, so that thre hundreth peces of beaten golde came to one shylde: and the kynge put the in the house of the wod of Libanus. ¹⁷ And the kynge made a greate seate of Yuery, and ouerlaied it with pure golde: ¹⁸ and the seate had sixe steppes, and a fotestole of golde festened vnto the seate, and it had two leanynge postes vpon both the sydes of the seate, ¹⁹ and two lyons stode beside the leanynge postes, and there stode twolue Lions vpo the syxe steppes on both the sides. In all realmes hath not soch one bene made. ²⁰ And all kynge Salomons drynkynge vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the wod of Libanus, were of pure golde: for syluer was rekened nothinge in Salomons tyme. ²¹ For the kynges shippes wente vpon the See with the seruauntes of Hira, & came once in thre yeare, and brought golde, syluer, Yuery, Apes and Pecockes. ²² Thus was kynge Salomon greater then all the kynges vpon earth, in riches and wisdome.
