Divrey Hayamim Bais 9:14-24 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

14. Besides that which traders and merchants brought. And all the melachim of Arabia and governors of the country brought zahav and kesef to Sh'lomo.

15. And Melech Sh'lomo made 200 shields of hammered zahav; 600 measures of hammered zahav went to one shield.

16. And 300 moginnim he made of hammered zahav; 300 measures of zahav went to one mogen. And HaMelech put them in Beis Ya'ar HaLevanon (House of the Forest of Levanon).

17. Moreover HaMelech made a kisse shen gadol (great ivory throne) and overlaid it with zahav tahor.

18. And there were six steps to the kisse, with a kevesh (ramp) of zahav, which was attached to the kisse, and arms on each side of the seat, and two aroyot (lions) standing by the armrests;

19. And 12 aroyot stood there on the one side and on the other upon 6 steps. There was nothing like it made for any other mamlechah.

20. And all the kelei mashkeh (drinking vessels) of Sh'lomo HaMelech were of zahav, and all the kelei Beis Ya'ar HaLevanon were of pure zahav; none were of kesef; it [silver] was not accounted as anything in the days of Sh'lomo.

21. HaMelech had a fleet of oniyyot that went to Tarshish with the avadim of Churam. Once every three years came the oniyyot Tarshish bringing zahav, and kesef, ivory, and monkeys, and peacocks.

22. And Sh'lomo HaMelech surpassed all the Malkhei HaAretz in riches and chochmah.

23. And all the Malkhei Ha'Aretz sought the presence of Sh'lomo, to hear his chochmah, that HaElohim had put in his lev.

24. And they brought every ish his minchah (present), kelei kesef, kelei zahav, and clothing, weapons, and spices, susim, and peradim (mules), at a set rate.
