Moreover the servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon who brought gold from Ophir brought algum wood and precious stones.
11
From the algum wood, the king made steps for the house of the Lord and for the king's house, lyres also and harps for the singers; there never was seen the like of them before in the land of Judah.
12
Meanwhile King Solomon granted the queen of Sheba every desire that she expressed, well beyond what she had brought to the king. Then she returned to her own land, with her servants.
13
The weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
14
besides that which the traders and merchants brought; and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went into each large shield.
16
He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield; and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
17
The king also made a great ivory throne, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18
The throne had six steps and a footstool of gold, which were attached to the throne, and on each side of the seat were arm rests and two lions standing beside the arm rests,
19
while twelve lions were standing, one on each end of a step on the six steps. The like of it was never made in any kingdom.

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; silver was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon.
