10. And also, the servants of Ḥuram and the servants of Shelomoh, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum wood and precious stones.
11. And the sovereign made stairs of the algum wood for the House of יהוה and for the sovereign’s house, also lyres and harps for singers. And there was never seen the like of them before in the land of Yehuḏah.
12. And Sovereign Shelomoh gave to the sovereigness of Sheḇa all she desired, whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the sovereign. And she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
13. And the weight of gold that came to Shelomoh yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
14. besides that which the merchants and traders brought. And all the sovereigns of Araḇia and governors of the land were bringing gold and silver to Shelomoh.
15. And Sovereign Shelomoh made two hundred large shields of beaten gold – six hundred pieces of beaten gold went into each shield,
16. and three hundred shields of beaten gold – three hundred pieces of gold went into each shield. And the sovereign put them in the House of the Forest of Leḇanon.
17. And the sovereign made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with clean gold,

19. And twelve lions were standing there, one on each side of the six steps. The like of it was not in any reign.
20. 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 – silver was reckoned of little value in the days of Shelomoh.
