1 Kings 9:14

And Hiram sent to the king one hundred and twenty talents
of gold.
] Not after the cities had been given him, but before; and it may be rendered "had sent" F13, and is the sum of the gold he furnished him with for the temple, ( 1 Kings 9:11 ) which, according to Brerewood F14, was 540,000 pounds of our money; and, according to another F15 writer, it amounted to 1,466,400 ducats of gold, taking a talent at 12,220 ducats.

1 Reyes 9:14 In-Context

12 Y salió Hiram de Tiro para ver las ciudades que Salomón le había dado, y no le gustaron.
13 Y dijo: ¿Qué son estas ciudades que me has dado, hermano mío? Por eso fueron llamadas tierra de Cabul hasta hoy.
14 Hiram había enviado al rey ciento veinte talentos de oro.
15 Y este es el motivo de la leva que el rey Salomón impuso para edificar la casa del SEÑOR, su propia casa, el Milo , el muro de Jerusalén, Hazor, Meguido y Gezer.
16 Pues Faraón, rey de Egipto, había subido y capturado Gezer, le había prendido fuego, había matado a los cananeos que habitaban en la ciudad, y la había dado en dote a su hija, la mujer de Salomón.
