1 Kings 10:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ Then the queen of Sheba gave the king about 9,000 pounds of gold. She also gave him many spices and jewels. No one since that time has brought more spices into Israel than the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.

¹¹ (Hiram’s ships brought gold from Ophir. They also brought from there very much juniper wood and jewels. ¹² Solomon used the juniper wood to build supports for the Temple of the Lord and the palace. He also used it to make harps and lyres for the musicians. Such fine juniper wood has not been brought in or seen since that time.)
