Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path ( Ps 119 : 105 ) Our Father in Heaven , please give us wisdom to understand Your Word correctly and give us strength to apply this in our daily life ! We pray in Jesus ' name . Amen ! 13 The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents , 14 not including the revenues brought in by merchants and traders . Also all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon . 15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold ; six hundred bekas of hammered gold went into each shield . 16 He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold , with three hundred bekas of gold in each shield . The king put them in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon . 17 Then the king made a great throne inlaid with ivory and overlaid with pure gold . 18 The throne had six steps , and a footstool of gold was attached to it . on both sides of the seat were armrests , with a lion standing beside each of them . 19 Twelve lions stood on the six steps , one at either end of each step . Nothing like it had ever been made for any other kingdom . 20 All King Solomon ' s goblets were gold , and all the household articles in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold . Nothing was made of silver , because silver was considered of little value in Solomon ' s day . 21 The king had a fleet of trading ships manned by Hiram ' s men . once every three years it returned , carrying gold , silver and ivory , and apes and baboons . 22 King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth . 23 All the kings of the earth sought audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom God had put in his heart . 24 Year after year , everyone who came brought a gift - articles of silver and gold , and robes , weapons and spices , and horses and mules . 25 Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots , and twelve thousand horses , which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem . 26 He ruled over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines , as far as the border of Egypt . 27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones , and cedar as plentiful as sycamore - fig trees in the foothills . 28 Solomon ' s horses were imported from Egypt and from all other countries . 29 As for the other events of Solomon ' s reign , from beginning to end , are they not written in the records of Nathan the prophet , in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat ? 30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years . 31 Then he rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of David his father . And Rehoboam his son succeeded him as king . 2 Chronicles 9 : 13 ~ 31
