2 Chronicles 8:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ Thus all of Solomon’s work was accomplished, from the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid until the house of the Lord was completed.

¹⁷ Solomon’s Glory. Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and Elath on the seacoast of Edom, ¹⁸ and Huram sent ships under the command of his own officers and manned by experienced seamen familiar with the sea. They went to Ophir, together with the servants of Solomon, and brought back from there four hundred and fifty talents that they presented to King Solomon.
