Löydetty 2053 Tulokset: King Solomon
A hundred and twenty talents’ weight of gold she gave to king Solomon, with many spices and precious stones; never did such abundance of spices come to Israel as those which the queen of Saba gave. (1 Kings 10, 10)
and of this sandal-wood king Solomon made pedestals for temple and palace, harp and zither for his musicians; finer sandal-wood never reached us, no, nor was ever seen.) (1 Kings 10, 12)
Solomon, in his turn, gave the queen of Saba all she desired and asked for; gave her much, too, unasked, in the royal munificence that was his. And so she went back to her own country, with all her retinue. (1 Kings 10, 13)
The weight of gold that reached Solomon every year was six hundred and sixty-six talents, (1 Kings 10, 14)
Two hundred shields king Solomon made of the purest gold, allowing six hundred sicles of gold to the plating of each; (1 Kings 10, 16)
three hundred bucklers, too, of assayed gold, with three (hundred) minas of gold to cover each;✻ and all these the king put in the building that was called the Forest of Lebanon. (1 Kings 10, 17)
Of gold were all the goblets from which king Solomon drank, of purest gold all the furniture in the building called the Forest of Lebanon; no silver was used, for indeed in King Solomon’s day silver was little thought of. (1 Kings 10, 21)
And every three years the king’s fleet and Hiram’s would sail to Tharsis, whence they came back laden with gold and silver; with ivory, too, and apes, and peacocks for their freight. (1 Kings 10, 22)
So, both in riches and in wisdom, Solomon outvied all the kings of the world; (1 Kings 10, 23)
Of chariots and horsemen king Solomon mustered a great force, fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen; of these, some were in the fortified towns, and some at the king’s side in Jerusalem. (1 Kings 10, 26)
And horses were brought to Solomon from Egypt and from Coa,✻ where his agents bought them and sent them to him for a fixed sum. (1 Kings 10, 28)
But king Solomon gave his heart to many women of alien birth, not only to Pharao’s daughter, but to Moabites and Ammonites, Edomites and Sidonians and Hethites. (1 Kings 11, 1)
