1 Reis 10:16 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 10:16

And King Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold,
&c.] Which were a larger sort of shields, which covered the whole body; and these were made of gold beaten with the hammer, or drawn into plates, being melted like wax; so the Poeni or Carthaginians made shields of gold F13:

six hundred shekels of gold went to one target;
which is to be understood not of the weight, but of the price or value of them, which amounted to four hundred and fifty pounds of our money; so Brerewood F14.

1 Reis 10:16 In-Context

14 Ora, o peso do ouro que se trazia a Salomão cada ano era de seiscentos e sessenta e seis talentos de ouro,
15 além do que vinha dos vendedores ambulantes, e do tráfico dos negociantes, e de todos as reis da Arábia, e dos governadores do país.
16 Também o rei Salomão fez duzentos paveses de ouro batido; de seiscentos siclos de ouro mandou fazer cada pavês;
17 do mesmo modo fez também trezentos escudos de ouro batido; de três minas de auro mandou fazer cada escudo. Então e rei os pôs na casa do bosque de Líbano.
18 Fez mais o rei um grande trono de marfim, e o revestiu de ouro puríssimo.
