13
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore
and six talents of gold;
14
Beside
that which
chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of
Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15
And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred
shekels
of beaten
gold went to one target.
16
And three hundred shields
made he of
beaten gold: three hundred
shekels
of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17
Moreover
the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18
And
there were
six steps
to the throne, with a footstool of gold,
which were
fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of
the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays:
19
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.
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
pure gold: none
were of
silver; it was
not
any thing accounted of
in the days of Solomon.
21
For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every

22
And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
23
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God
had put in his heart.
24
And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of
gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
25
And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen;
whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
26
And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to
the border of Egypt.
27
And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees made he
as the sycomore trees that
are
in the low plains in abundance.
28
And they brought unto Solomon
horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
29
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last,

his son reigned in his stead.
