1 Kings 10:11-18 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

11. And also, the ships of Ḥiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought almug wood, a great many, and precious stones from Ophir.

12. And the sovereign made steps of the almug wood for the House of יהוה and for the sovereign’s house, also lyres and harps for singers. No such almug wood has come or been seen to this day.

13. And Sovereign Shelomoh gave the sovereigness of Sheḇa all she desired, whatever she asked, besides what he gave her according to the hand of Sovereign Shelomoh. And she turned and went to her land, she and her servants.

14. And the weight of gold that came to Shelomoh yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,

15. besides that from men of travel, and the profit from traders, and from all the sovereigns of Araḇia, and from the governors of the land.

16. And Sovereign Shelomoh made two hundred large shields of beaten gold – six hundred pieces of gold went into each shield;

17. and three hundred shields of beaten gold – three minas of gold went into each shield. And the sovereign put them in the House of the Forest of Leḇanon.

18. And the sovereign made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with refined gold.
