Three minus of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. The king also made a great ivory throne and overlaid it with the finest gold.

The throne had six steps, and at the back of the throne was a calf's head, and on each side of the seat were armrests and two lions standing besides the armrests, while twelve lions stood there, one on each end of a step on the six steps. The like of it was never made in any kingdom.

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. None were of silver. It was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon. For the king had a fleet of ships from Tarshish at sea with the fleet of Hiram.

Once every three years, the fleet of ships of Tarshish used to come bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. Thus, King Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. And the whole earth sought the presence of King Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put into his mind.

Every one of them brought his present articles of silver and gold, garments, myrrh, spices, horses, and mules, so much year by year. And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen.

And the king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stone, and he made cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephelah. And Solomon's import of horses was from Egypt and Cu, and the king's traders received them from Cu at a price. A chariot could be imported from Egypt for 600 shekels of silver and a horse for 150.

Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine and the hardness of his countenance is changed. Keep the king's command and because of your sacred oath, be not dismayed. Go from his presence. Do not delay when the matter is unpleasant for he does whatever he pleases.
