2 Chronicles 9:16-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
16
He made
three hundred shields of beaten gold, using three hundred
shekels of
gold on each shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17
Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18
There were
six steps to the throne and a footstool in gold attached to the throne, and arms on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms.
19
Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like
it
was made for any
other
kingdom.
20
All King Solomon’s drinking vessels
were
of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon
were
of pure gold; silver was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.
21
For the king had ships which went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once
every
three years the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
22
So King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and wisdom.
23
And all the kings of the earth were seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.
King James Version

18
And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays:
19
And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom.
20

And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.

18
The throne had six steps; there was a footstool covered in gold for the throne, armrests on either side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
19
Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps, one at each end. Nothing like it had ever been made in any other kingdom.
20
All of King Solomon’s drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, since it was considered as nothing in Solomon’s time,
21
for the king’s ships kept going to Tarshish with Hiram’s servants, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
22
King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the world in riches and wisdom.

16
He also made 300 smaller shields of hammered gold, each weighing more than 7 1/2 pounds. The king placed these shields in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.
17
Then the king made a huge throne, decorated with ivory and overlaid with pure gold.
18
The throne had six steps, with a footstool of gold. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, and the figure of a lion stood on each side of the throne.
19
There were also twelve other lions, one standing on each end of the six steps. No other throne in all the world could be compared with it!
20
All of King Solomon’s drinking cups were solid gold, as were all the utensils in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon. They were not made of silver, for silver was considered worthless in Solomon’s day!
21
The king had a fleet of trading ships of Tarshish manned by the sailors sent by Hiram. Once every three years the ships returned, loaded with gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
22
So King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king on earth.
23
Kings from every nation came to consult him and to hear the wisdom God had given him.
