1 Kings 9:24-28 - Solomon's Other Activities
24 And Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto the house which Solomon had built for her. And after that he built Mello.
25 And thrice a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he had built unto the LORD, to burn the fat thereon: which altar is before the LORD. And when king Solomon had made the house perfect,
26 he made ships in Eziongeber which is beside Eloth, on the brink of the reed sea, in the land of Edom. 27 And Hiram sent by ship also of his servants, that were shipmen and expert in the sea, with the servants of Solomon. 28 And they went to Ophir and fetched from thence gold, to the sum of four hundred and twenty two talents, and brought it to Solomon.
