2 Chronicles 9:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ Gold lions also stood at each side of each step. No other throne in all the world could be compared with it! ²⁰ All of King Solomon’s cups were solid gold, as were all the furnishings in the Forest of Lebanon Room. Silver was too cheap to count for much in those days!

²¹ Every three years the king sent his ships to Tarshish, using sailors supplied by King Hiram, to bring back gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
