2 Chronicles 9:20-25 And, all the drinking vessels of King Solomon, were of gold, and, all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon, were of purified gold,––there was no silver, it was esteemed, in the days of Solomon, as nothing.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ And, all the drinking vessels of King Solomon, were of gold, and, all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon, were of purified gold,––there was no silver, it was esteemed, in the days of Solomon, as nothing. ²¹ For, the ships of the king, used to go to Tarshish, with the servants of Huram,––once in three years, came in the ships of Tarshish, bearing gold and silver, ivory and apes, and peacocks. ²² And so King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth,––as to riches, and wisdom. ²³ And, all the kings of the earth, were seeking the face of Solomon,––to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart; ²⁴ and, they, were bringing in every man his present––utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and mantles, armour, and spices, horses and mules,––the need of a year in a year. ²⁵ And Solomon had four thousand stalls of horses, and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen,––and he settled them in the chariot cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.
