2 Chronicles 9:17 In-Context

15 King Solomon crafted 200 body-length shields of hammered gold - about fifteen pounds of gold to each shield
16 - and about 300 small shields about half that size. He stored the shields in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
17 The king made a massive throne of ivory with a veneer of gold.
18 The throne had six steps leading up to it with an attached footstool of gold. The armrests on each side were flanked by lions.
19 Lions, twelve of them, were placed at either end of the six steps. There was no throne like it in any other kingdom.
