THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

2 Chronicles (Author Compiled by Isaiah and Ezra from records of Nathan, Gad, Iddo, Ahijah, Jehu and others.)

9:13Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;

9:14Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.

9:15And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target.

9:16And 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.

9:17Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.

9:18And 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:

9:19And 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.

9:20And 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.

9:21For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
