2 Chronicles 9

11  And the king made of the algum-trees terraces for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, and harps and psalteries for the singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.

12  And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.

13  Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold,

14  Besides that which the traders and merchants brought: and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.

15  And king Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred `shekels' of beaten gold went to one buckler.

16  And `he made' three hundred shields 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  Nd there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside 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 king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
