1 Kings 10:14-29 - Solomon's Wealth

¹⁴ And the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year will be six hundred sixty and six talents of gold, ¹⁵ Besides from the men travelling about and from the traffic of the merchants, and all the kings of Arabia and all the prefects of the earth.

¹⁶ And king Solomon will make two hundred shields of beaten gold; six hundred of gold will come up upon the one shield. ¹⁷ And three hundred shields of beaten gold; three parts of gold will come up upon the one shield: and the king will give them to the house of the forest of Lebanon.

¹⁸ And the king will make a great ivory throne, and overlaid it with pure gold. ¹⁹ Six steps to the throne, and the head rounded to the throne from its back parts: and hands hence and thence upon the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the hands. ²⁰ And twelve lions standing there upon the six steps, hence and thence: there was not made thus to all the kingdoms.

²¹ And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon, gold, and every vessel of the house of the forest of Lebanon, gold shut up; nothing silver: it was not reckoned in the days of Solomon for any thing. ²² for a ship of Tharshish to the king in the sea with the ship of Hiram: one for three years will come, a ship of Tharshish lifting up gold and silver and ivory and apes and peacocks.

²³ And king Solomon will be magnified above all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. ²⁴ And all the earth are seeking the face of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God gave in his heart ²⁵ And they were bringing each his gifts, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garments and weapons and spices, horses, and mules, the word of a year in a year.

²⁶ And Solomon will gather together chariots and horsemen: and there will be to him a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he will set them down in the cities of chariots and with the king in Jerusalem. ²⁷ And the king will give silver in Jerusalem, as stones, and cedars he gave as sycamores which are in the plain for multitude. ²⁸ And a going forth of horses out of Egypt to Solomon, and a caravan of the king's merchants will take the caravan at a price. ²⁹ And a chariot will go up and come forth out of Egypt with six hundred of silver, and a horse at fifty and a hundred: and thus for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Aram, by their hand they will bring forth.

¹⁴ And Solomon will gather together chariots and horsemen: and there will be to him a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he will deposit them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem. ¹⁵ And the king will give the silver and the gold in Jerusalem as stones, and he gave cedars as sycamore trees which are in the low country for multitude. ¹⁶ And the going forth of horses which was to Solomon from Egypt, and a collection of merchants of the king will take a collection at a price. ¹⁷ And they will go up and bring forth from Egypt a chariot for six hundred of silver, and a horse for fifty and a hundred: and thus for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram, by their hand will they bring forth.
