Contextual Overview
13 Now, the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold; 14 besides what came in from the subjugated, and what the travelling merchants were bringing in, - and, all the kings of Arabia and the pashas of the land, were bringing gold and silver, unto Solomon. 15 And King Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold, - six hundred shekels of beaten gold, overlay one shield; 16 also three hundred bucklers of beaten gold, three hundred shekels of gold, overlay one buckler, - and the king placed 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 in gold, unto the throne, made fast, and supports, on this side and on that, unto the seat, - and, two lions, standing by the supports; 19 and, twelve lions, standing there upon the six steps, on this side and on that, - there was never made the like, for any kingdom. 20 And, all the drinking vessels of King Solomon, were of gold, and, all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon, were of purified gold, - there was no silver, it was esteemed, in the days of Solomon, as nothing. 21 For, the ships of the king, used to go to Tarshish, with the servants of Huram, - once in three years, came in the ships of Tarshish, bearing gold and silver, ivory and apes, and peacocks. 22 And so King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth, - as to riches, and wisdom.
