And now Solomon was visited by the queen of Saba. His fame had reached her, and she came to make trial of his power with knotty questions. Great was the wealth she brought with her to Jerusalem; her camels were loaded with spices and abundant gold and precious stones. And when she met Solomon, she told him all the thoughts that exercised her mind; (2 Chronicles 9, 1)
A hundred and twenty talents’ weight of gold she gave to king Solomon, with many spices and precious stones; never were such spices as the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon. (2 Chronicles 9, 9)
(Though indeed Hiram’s fleet, when it brought back gold from Ophir, brought sandal-wood, as well as precious stones; (2 Chronicles 9, 10)
The weight of gold that reached Solomon every year was six hundred and sixty-six talents, (2 Chronicles 9, 13)
not counting what was brought by the envoys of different countries, by his own merchantmen, and by the kings of Arabia, with the governors of their provinces; these, too, brought gold and silver to king Solomon. (2 Chronicles 9, 14)
Two hundred shields king Solomon made of the gold;✻ six hundred sicles of gold went to one shield; (2 Chronicles 9, 15)
besides three hundred golden bucklers, three hundred sicles of gold being used for the plating of each; and all these the king put away in the store-chamber of the building that was called the Forest of Lebanon. (2 Chronicles 9, 16)
He also made a great throne of ivory, and lined it with gold unalloyed; (2 Chronicles 9, 17)
six steps led up to it, and the footstool was all of gold. This throne had an arm at either side, and a lion standing by it; (2 Chronicles 9, 18)
Of gold all the plate was when the king feasted, of pure gold all the ornaments in the house called the Forest of Lebanon; in those days, silver was little thought of. (2 Chronicles 9, 20)
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. (2 Chronicles 9, 21)
And all these brought him gifts, so that gold and silver ware, presents of clothes and armour, spices, too, and horses and mules came in year by year. (2 Chronicles 9, 24)
