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.
