16. King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler.
17. he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
18. Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
19. There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
20. Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. Nothing like it was made in any kingdom.
21. All king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver, because it was considered of little value in the days of Solomon.
