King Solomon made

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_made the=king Shəlmoh two_hundreds large_shields gold hammered six hundreds gold it_will_ascend on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,shield the,each )

It might be best to translate so that the reader understands that other people helped Solomon do this. Alternate translation: “King Solomon’s men made”

Note 2 topic: translate-numbers

two hundred large shields

“200 large shields”

Note 3 topic: translate-bweight

Six hundred shekels of gold

A shekel is a unit of weight equal to about 11 grams. Alternate translation: “About 6.6 kilograms of gold” or “Six and one half kilograms of gold”

Six hundred shekels

Because the word “shekels” does not appear here in the Hebrew text, some modern versions assume instead the unit of bekah, which was equivalent to only a half shekel. Any version making this assumption would signal a metric equivalent of about three kilograms.
