21. And all the drinking vessels of Sovereign Shelomoh were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Leḇanon were of refined gold – not of silver, for this was reckoned of little value in the days of Shelomoh.
22. For the sovereign had ships of Tarshish at sea with the fleet of Ḥiram. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and baboons.
23. And Sovereign Shelomoh was greater than any of the sovereigns of the earth in riches and wisdom.
24. And all the earth sought the presence of Shelomoh to hear his wisdom, which Elohim had put in his heart.
25. And they were each bringing his present: objects of silver and objects of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, the matter of a year by year.
