- 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. None was of silver; it was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.
- For the king had at sea the ships of Tarshish with the ships of Hiram; once every three years the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold and silver, ivory and apes and peacocks.
- So King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
- All the earth was seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.
- They brought every man his gift, articles of silver and gold, garments, weapons, spices, horses, and mules, so much year by year.

- And 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; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
- For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
- So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
- And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
- And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
