2 Chronicles 9:15

Solomon’s Great Wealth

13 ^aThe weight of gold that came to Solomon yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,

14 besides what the traveling merchants and traders brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.

15 And King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of hammered gold went into each shield.

16 He also made three hundred shields of hammered gold;¹ three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield. The king put them in the ^aHouse of the Forest of Lebanon.

17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.

18 The throne had six steps, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne; there were¹ armrests on either side of the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the armrests.
