appointed you as king b to render
judicial decision c and righteousness.”

10 Then she gave e the king a
hundred and twenty talents of
gold f and a very great deal of
balsam oil g and precious stones.
There never came anymore the
like of that balsam oil for quantity
such as the queen of Sheba
gave to King Solo·mon.
11 And Hiram’s fleet of ships h
that carried gold from Ophir i
also brought from Ophir timbers
of algum trees j in very great
amount and precious stones. k
12 And the king proceeded to
make out of the timbers of the algum
trees supports for the house
of Jehovah l and for the house of
the king, and also harps m and
stringed n instruments for the
singers. Timbers of algum trees
like this have not come in nor
have they been seen down to this
day.
13 And King Solo·mon himself
gave the queen of Sheba all
her delight for which she asked,
apart from what he gave her according
to the openhandedness o
of King Solo·mon. After that she
turned about and went to her
own land, she together with her
servants. p
14 And the weight of the gold q
that came to Solo·mon in one
year amounted up to six hundred
and sixty-six talents of
gold, r 15 apart from the men of
travel and the profit from the
traders and all the kings s of the
Arabs t and the governors of the
land.
16 And King Solo·mon went
on to make two hundred large
shields of alloyed gold u (six hundred
shekels of gold he proceeded
to lay upon each large
shield), v 17 and three hundred
bucklers of alloyed gold (three
minas of gold he proceeded to
lay upon each buckler). w Then

the king put them in the House
of the Forest of Leba·non. a
18 Further, the king made a
great ivory b throne c and overlaid
it with refined gold. d 19 There
were six steps to the throne, and
the throne had a round canopy
behind it, and there were armrestsonthissideandonthatside
by the place of sitting, and two
lions e were standing beside the
armrests. f 20 And there were
twelve lions standing there upon
the six steps, on this side and on
that side. No other kingdom had
any made just like it. g
21 And all the drinking vessels
of King Solo·mon were of
gold, and all the vessels of the
House of the Forest of Lebanon
h were of pure gold. i There
was nothing of silver; it was considered
in the days of Solo·mon
as nothing at all. 22 For the
king had a fleet of ships of Tarshish
j on the sea along with Hiram’s
fleet of ships. Once every
three years the fleet of ships of
Tarshish would come carrying
gold k and silver, ivory, l and apes
and peacocks.
23 So King Solo·mon was
greater in riches m and wisdom n
than all the other kings of the
earth. 24 And all the people of
the earth were seeking the face
of Solo·mon to hear his wisdom
that God had put in his heart. o
25 Andtheywerebringingeach
his gift, p articles of silver q and articles
of gold and garments and
armor r and balsam oil, horses
and mules, s as a yearly matter of
course. t
26 And Solo·mon kept gathering
more chariots and steeds;
and he came to have a thousand
four hundred chariots and
twelve thousand steeds, u and he
kept them stationed in the chariot
cities and close by the king in
Jerusalem. v
