1 Kings 10:21-23
EasyEnglish Bible
21 They used gold to make all King Solomon's cups that he drank from. In the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon, all the dishes and other things were made with gold. They used pure gold. They did not make anything with silver. In Solomon's time, people did not think that silver was very valuable.
22 The king had many large ships that could sail across the seas.[a] They sailed with King Hiram's ships. Every three years they returned to Solomon with their loads. They brought to him gold, silver and ivory. They also brought apes and monkeys.[b]
23 King Solomon was richer and wiser than any other king in the world.
