nd there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.
19
Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.
20
All king Shlomo's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Levanon were of pure gold: silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Shlomo.
21
For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22
So king Shlomo exceeded all the kings of the eretz in riches and wisdom.
23
All the kings of the eretz sought the presence of Shlomo, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
24
They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
25
Shlomo had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Yerushalayim.
26
He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Pelishtim, and to the border of Mitzrayim.
27
The king made silver to be in Yerushalayim as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
28
They brought horses for Shlomo out of Mitzrayim, and out of all lands.
