15
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went into each large shield.
16
He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield; and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
17
The king also made a great ivory throne, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18
The throne had six steps and a footstool of gold, which were attached to the throne, and on each side of the seat were arm rests and two lions standing beside the arm rests,
19
while twelve lions were standing, one on each end of a step on the six steps. The like of it was never made in any kingdom.
