15
King Shlomo made 200 large shields of hammered gold; fifteen pounds of hammered gold went into one shield.
16
He made 300 more shields of hammered gold, with seven-and-a-half pounds going into one shield; the king put these in the House of the L'vanon Forest.
17
The king also made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
18
The throne had six steps and a gold footstool; these were fastened to the throne. There were arms on either side of the seat, two lions standing beside the arms,
19
and twelve more lions standing on each side of the six steps. Nothing like it had ever been made in any kingdom.
