Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Six hundred threescore and six talents of gold - About 3,646, 350 of our money. Solomon’s annual revenue exceeded that of Oriental empires very much greater in extent than his, and must have made him one of the richest, if not the very richest, of the monarchs of his time.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 10:14. The weight of gold - was six hundred threescore and six talents — This would amount in our money to £4,683,675 12s. 8 1/2d. sterling. This seems to be what he got annually of bullion; but independently of this, he had tribute of all the kings of Arabia, duties from merchantmen, and the traffic of spice merchants; see 1 Kings 10:25.
