Not one was of silver, for no one gave a thought to silver in the days of King Solomon. 22 For the king had at sea the ships of Tarshish with the ships of Hiram; once every three years the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold and silver, ivory and apes and peacocks. 23 King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
