10. Moreover, the servants of Hiram and Solomon who brought gold from Ophir also brought algum wood and precious stones.
11. And the king used the algum wood for steps for the house of the Lord and the palace of the king, even for lyres and harps for the singers. And there had not been anything seen like these in the land of Judah.
12. And King Solomon gave everything to the queen of Sheba in which she had pleasure, even what she asked for in addition to what she brought to the king. Then she turned and left for her own land with her servants.
13. The weight of gold that came to Solomon every year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold.
14. In addition to what the explorers and merchants brought in, all the kings of Arabia and governors of the land brought in gold and silver to Solomon.
15. King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold, and six hundred gold pieces were used for each large shield.
16. And he made three hundred shields of hammered gold; three hundred gold pieces were used for each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
17. And the king made a great throne of ivory, and he covered it with fine gold.
18. And there were six steps and a gold footstool attached to the throne, and on each side at the place of the seat were armrests with two lions standing beside the armrests.
19. So twelve lions stood there on the six steps, one on each side, and there was nothing like this in any kingdom.
20. Even all the drinking vessels of King Solomon were gold, and all the vessels in the House of the Forest of Lebanon were fine gold. And silver was not thought to be valuable in the days of Solomon.
21. The ships of Solomon went to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish returned carrying gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
