Moreover the
king made a
great throne of
ivory, and
overlaid it with the
best gold.

The
throne had
six steps, and the
top of the
throne was
round behind: and there were
stays on either side on the
place of the
seat, and
two lions stood beside the
stays.

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.

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; none were of
silver: it was
nothing accounted of in the
days of
Solomon.

For the
king had at
sea a
navy of
Tharshish with the
navy of
Hiram: once in
three years came the
navy of
Tharshish, bringing gold, and
silver, ivory, and
apes, and
peacocks.

So

kings of the
earth for
riches and for
wisdom.

put in his

And
Solomon gathered
together chariots and
horsemen: and he had a
thousand and
four hundred chariots, and
twelve* thousand horsemen, whom he
bestowed in the
cities for
chariots, and with the
king at
Jerusalem.

And the

trees that are in the
vale, for
abundance.

And
Solomon had

And a

up and went
out of

six hundred shekels of

kings of
Syria, did they bring them
out by their
means.
