9:13 The wealth of Solomon
10:14 Shelomoh’s wealth
14 The amount of gold that came to Shelomoh in one year was around twenty-two tonnes, 15 not counting what came from explorers and traders, and all the Arab kings, and the governors of the land.
16 King Shelomoh had two hundred body shields made from beaten gold overlaid over wood—each shield took six kilograms of gold. 17 He also had three hundred smaller shields made—each of them covered with two kilograms of gold—and placed in his ‘Lebanon Forest Hall’.
18 The king had a large ivory throne made and overlaid with pure gold. 19 It had six steps going up to it and the seat-back was rounded at the top. It had armrests on both sides, then a lion on each side next to the armrests, 20 plus twelve lions standing one on each side of the six steps. There was nothing like it in any other kingdom.
21 All of Shelomoh’s cups were gold, and the various dishes in the ‘Lebanon Forest Hall’ were also pure gold. Nothing was made out of silver because it was considered to be of little value during Shelomoh’s time 22 because the king had a fleet of ships that joined King Hiram’s fleet. Every three years the fleet would return bringin gold and silver, ivory, monkeys and baboons.[fn]
23 King Shelomoh became richer and wiser than any other king in the world, 24 and even people from distant countries would come to see Shelomoh to listen to the wisdom that God had given him. 25 Every visitor would bring a gift: gold containers, clothes, weapons, spices, horses and mules. This continued year after year.
10:22 baboons: We’re not certain of the meaning of this last word (some suggest ‘peacocks’), nor are we sure of the type of the ships named ‘Tarshish ships’.
1Ki 4:26:
26 Shelomoh had forty thousand stalls for his chariot horses, and twelve thousand horsemen.[ref]
Gen 15:18:
18 On that day Yahweh made an agreement with Abram, saying, “I’ve given this land to your descendants, from Egypt’s river to the famous Euphrates River.[ref]
1Ki 4:21:
21 Shelomoh controlled all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines and as far as the Egyptian border, so they brought tribute to him and followed his orders during his lifetime.[ref]
Deu 17:16:
