1 Kings 10:9-18
English Standard Version
Chapter 10
9Blessed be the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and set you on the throne of Israel! Because the Lord loved Israel forever, he has made you king, that you may execute justice and righteousness." 10Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices and precious stones. Never again came such an abundance of spices as these that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
11Moreover, the fleet of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir a very great amount of almug wood and precious stones.
12And the king made of the almug wood supports for the house of the Lord and for the king 's house, also lyres and harps for the singers. No such almug wood has come or been seen to this day.
14Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,
15besides that which came from the explorers and from the business of the merchants, and from all the kings of the west and from the governors of the land.
16King Solomon made 200 large shields of beaten gold; 600 shekels of gold went into each shield.
17And he made 300 shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
18The king also made a great ivory throne and overlaid it with the finest gold.
