King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold, each of which contained about seven and one-half pounds of hammered gold.
16
He also made three hundred smaller shields of hammered gold, each of which contained about four pounds of gold. The king put them in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.
17
The king built a large throne of ivory and covered it with pure gold.
18
The throne had six steps on it and a gold footstool. There were armrests on both sides of the chair, and each armrest had a lion beside it.
19
Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one lion at each end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any other kingdom.
