13
And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what he gave her freely from the impulse of his heart. So she went back to her country, she and her servants.
14
Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;
15
In addition to what came to him from the business of the traders, and from all the kings of the Arabians, and from the rulers of the country.
16
And Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.
17
And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, with three pounds of gold in every cover: and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.
18
Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.
19
There were six steps going up to it, and the top of it was round at the back, there were arms on the two sides of the seat, and two lions by the side of the arms;
20
And twelve lions were placed on the one side and on the other side on the six steps: there was nothing like it in any kingdom.
21
And all King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold; not one was of silver, for no one gave a thought to silver in the days of King Solomon.
22
For the king had Tarshish-ships at sea with the ships of Hiram; once every three years the Tarshish-ships came with gold and silver and ivory and monkeys and peacocks.
23
And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
