14:009:014 Beside that which chapmen and merchants
brought. And all the
kings
of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold
and
silver
to Solomon.
14:009:015 And king Solomon made two hundred targets
of beaten gold: six
hundred
shekels of beaten gold went to one target.
14:009:016 And three hundred shields made he of beaten
gold: three
hundred
shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king
put
them
in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
14:009:017 Moreover the king made a great throne of
ivory, and overlaid
it
with pure gold.
14:009:018 And there were six steps to the throne,
with a footstool of
gold,
which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each
side
of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the
stays:
14:009:019 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.
14:009:020 And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon
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 not any thing
accounted
of
in the days of Solomon.
14:009:021 For the king’s ships went to Tarshish
with the servants of
Huram:
every three years once came the ships of Tarshish
bringing
gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
14:009:022 And king Solomon passed all the kings of
the earth in riches
and
wisdom.
14:009:023 And all the kings of the earth sought the
presence of Solomon,
to
hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
14:009:024 And they brought every man his present,
vessels of silver, and
vessels
of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses,
and
mules,
a rate year by year.
14:009:025 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for
horses and chariots,
and
twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot
cities,
and with the king at Jerusalem.
14:009:026 And he reigned over all the kings from
the river even unto the
land
of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
14:009:027 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as
stones, and cedar
trees
made he as the sycomore trees that are in the low plains
in
abundance.
14:009:028 And they brought unto Solomon horses out
of Egypt, and out of
all
lands.
14:009:029 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first
and last, are they
not
written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the
prophecy
of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo
the
seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
