New Testament

2 Chronicles 9:11-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

11. And the king made from the algum wood supports for the house of the Lord and for the king’s house, lyres also and harps for the singers. There never was seen the like of them before in the land of Judah.

12. And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all that she desired, whatever she asked besides what she had brought to the king. So she turned and went back to her own land with her servants.

13. Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,

14. besides that which the explorers and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon.

15. King Solomon made 200 large shields of beaten gold; 600 shekels of beaten gold went into each shield.

16. And he made 300 shields of beaten gold; 300 shekels of gold went into each shield; and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
