16
And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred
shekels
of gold
went to one target.
17
And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went
to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
19
The
throne had six steps, and the top of the throne
was
round behind: and
there were
stays on either
side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.
20
And twelve lions stood there
on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.
21
And all king Solomon’s drinking vessels
were of
gold, and all the vessels of the house of the
forest of Lebanon
were of
pure gold; none
were of
silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days
of Solomon.
22
For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three
years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
23
So
king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
24
And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
25
And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and
armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
26
And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four
hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and
with the king at Jerusalem.
27
And the king made silver
to be
in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars
made he
to be
as the sycomore trees that
are
in the vale, for abundance.
28
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received
the linen yarn at a price.
29
And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred
shekels
of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the
kings of Syria, did they bring
them
out by their means.
CHAPTER KINGS 11
But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of
the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians,
and
Hittites;
2
Of the nations
concerning
which
the L
ORD
said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto
you:
for
surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.
3
And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned
away his heart.
4
For it came to pass, when Solomon was old,
that
his wives turned away his heart
after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the L
ORD
his God, as
was
the heart of David his
father.
5
For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the
abomination of the Ammonites.
6
And Solomon did evil in the sight of the L
ORD
, and went not fully
after the L
ORD
, as
did
David his father.
7
Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the
abomination of Moab, in the hill that
is
before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the
