1 Re 10:17 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 10:17

And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold
Which were a lesser sort:

three pounds of gold went to one shield;
or three hundred shekels, as in ( 2 Chronicles 9:16 ) a hundred shekels made one pound; so that these were but half the value of the former, and one of them was worth but two hundred and twenty five pounds: Eupolemus F15, an Heathen writer, makes mention of those golden shields Solomon made, and which were made for show, and not for war, as follows:

and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon;
one part of which was made an armoury of, see ( Song of Solomon 4:4 ) .

1 Re 10:17 In-Context

15 oltre a quello che traeva da’ gabellieri, e dal traffico de’ mercatanti di spezierie, e da tutti i re dell’Arabia, e da’ principali signori del paese.
16 Onde il re Salomone fece fare dugento pavesi d’oro battuto, in ciascuno de’ quali impiegò siecento sicli d’oro;
17 e trecento scudi d’oro battuto, in ciascuno de’ quali impiegò tre mine d’oro. E il re li mise nella casa del bosco del Libano.
18 Il re fece, oltre a ciò, un gran trono d’avorio, il quale egli coperse d’oro fino.
19 Quel trono avea sei gradi, e la parte disopra di esso era rotonda di dietro, e nel luogo del seggio v’erano degli appoggiatoi, di qua e di là, e due leoni erano posti presso di quegli appoggiatoi.
