Contextual Overview
13 The gold that came to Solomon in one year weighed as much as 666 men. 14 Traders and men who buy and sell brought gold also. And all the kings of Arabia and the leaders of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon. 15 King Solomon made 200 battle-coverings of beaten gold. The beaten gold he used to make each large covering was as much as 600 gold pieces. 16 And he made 300 battle-coverings of beaten gold, using as much as 300 gold pieces worth of gold for each covering. The king put them in the House of the Trees of Lebanon. 17 The king made a great throne of ivory and covered it with pure gold. 18 There were six steps to the throne, and a part made of gold for his feet was joined to the throne. The throne had arms on each side, and two lions standing beside the arms. 19 Twelve lions were standing on each side of the six steps. Nothing like it had ever been made for the king of any other nation. 20 All King Solomon's cups were made of gold. And all the cups of the House of the Trees of Lebanon were made of pure gold. Silver was not thought of as having much worth in the days of Solomon. 21 For the king had ships which went to Tarshish with Huram's servants. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. 22 So King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
