2 Chronicles 9:18-20
New English Translation

18 There were six steps leading up to the throne, and a gold footstool was attached to the throne.[a] The throne had two armrests with a statue of a lion standing on each side.[b] 19 There were twelve statues of lions on the six steps, one lion at each end of each step. There was nothing like it in any other kingdom.[c]

20 All of King Solomon’s cups were made of gold, and all the household items in the Palace of the Lebanon Forest were made of pure gold. There were no silver items, for silver was not considered very valuable in Solomon’s time.[d]
