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 666 talents of gold per year, ¹⁴ besides what he collected from the merchants and traders. All the Arabian kings and the governors of the land also brought gold and silver to Solomon. ¹⁵ King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; 600 measures of hammered gold were used for each shield. ¹⁶ He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; 300 measures of gold were used for each of those shields. The king placed them in the Palace of the Lebanon Forest. ¹⁷ The king made a large throne decorated with ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. ¹⁸ There were six steps leading up to the throne, and a gold footstool was attached to the throne. The throne had two armrests with a statue of a lion standing on each side. ¹⁹ There were twelve statues of lions on the six steps, one lion at each end of each step. There was nothing like it in any other kingdom. ²⁰ All of King Solomon's cups were made of gold, and all the household items in the Palace of the Lebanon Forest were made of pure gold. There were no silver items, for silver was not considered very valuable in Solomon's time. ²¹ The king had a fleet of large merchant ships manned by Huram's men that sailed the sea. Once every three years the fleet came into port with cargoes of gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. ²² King Solomon was wealthier and wiser than any of the kings of the earth.
