Footnotes

  1. 1 Kings 10:14 Almost fifty thousand pounds
  2. 1 Kings 10:16 The Hebrew text gives only a number (six hundred), without a unit of measure. If the unit is bekas, then the amount in the text is a good approximation. If the measure is shekels, the weight would be about fifteen pounds.
