10
Then she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great quantity, and precious stones. There never again came such abundance of spices as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
11
Also, the ships of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought great quantities of almug wood and precious stones from Ophir.
12
And the king made steps of the almug wood for the house of the Lord and for the king's house, also harps and stringed instruments for singers. There never again came such almug wood, nor has the like been seen to this day.
13
Now King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired, whatever she asked, besides what Solomon had given her according to the royal generosity. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.
14
The weight of gold that came to Solomon yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
15
besides that from the traveling merchants, from the income of traders, from all the kings of Arabia, and from the governors of the country.
16
And King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.
17
He also made three hundred shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
18
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
19
The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round at the back; there were armrests on either side of the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the armrests.
20
Twelve lions stood there, one on each side of the six steps; nothing like this had been made for any other kingdom.
