11:010:010 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold,
           and of spices very great store, and precious stones:  there
           came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen
           of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

11:010:011 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir,
           brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and
           precious stones.

11:010:012 And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of
           the lord, and for the king’s house, harps also and psalteries
           for singers:  there came no such almug trees, nor were seen
           unto this day.

11:010:013 And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire,
           whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of
           his royal bounty.  So she turned and went to her own country,
           she and her servants.

11:010:014 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was
           six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,

11:010:015 Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of
           the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of
           the governors of the country.

11:010:016 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold:  six
           hundred shekels of gold went to one target.

11:010:017 And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound
           of gold went to one shield:  and the king put them in the house
           of the forest of Lebanon.

11:010:018 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid
           it with the best gold.

11:010:019 The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round
           behind:  and there were stays on either side on the place of
           the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.

11:010:020 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other
           upon the six steps:  there was not the like made in any
           kingdom.

11:010:021 And all king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all
           the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure
           gold; none were of silver:  it was nothing accounted of in the
           days of Solomon.

11:010:022 For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of
           Hiram:  once in three years came the navy of Tharshish,
           bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

11:010:023 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches
           and for wisdom.

11:010:024 And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which
           God had put in his heart.

11:010:025 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and
           vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses,
           and mules, a rate year by year.
