2 Chronicles 9:20-22

Revised Standard Version

²⁰ 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; silver was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon. ²¹ For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years the ships of Tarshish used to come bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.^[a]

²² Thus King Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
