The Bible, King James version, Book 14: 2 Chronicles. Unknown

therefore made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.

      14:009:009 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon.

      14:009:010 And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.

      14:009:011 And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.

      14:009:012 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.

      14:009:013 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;

      14:009:014 Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.

      14:009:015 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target.

      14:009:016 And three hundred shields made he of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

      14:009:017 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.

      14:009:018 And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays:

      14:009:019 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom.

      14:009:020 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 pure gold: none were of silver; it was not any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon.

      14:009:021 For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

      14:009:022 And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

      14:009:023 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.

      14:009:024 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

      14:009:025 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

      14:009:026 And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.

      14:009:027 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the low plains in abundance.

      14:009:028 And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands.

      14:009:029 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?

      14:009:030 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.

      14:009:031 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

      14:010:001 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
