11. And the king made steps for the house of Yahweh and the house of the king, and lyres and harps for the singers from the algum wood. And there was not seen anything like them before in the land of Judah.

17. And the king made a large ivory throne and overlaid it with pure gold.
18. And the throne had six steps, and a footstool of gold was attached to the throne. And there were armrests on each side. And by the seat were two lions standing beside the armrests.
19. And twelve lions were standing there on each of the six steps on each end. And there was nothing like it made in all the kingdom.
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 pure gold. Silver was not valued as anything in the days of Solomon.
