2 Chronicles 9:20-22

The Voice

²⁰ In King Solomon’s house, made of wood from Lebanon, the drinking cups and dishes were of gold (since silver was not recognized as a precious metal in Solomon’s days).

²¹ Both Solomon and Huram owned ships which traded with the coastal city of Tarshish every three years, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks^[a] into Israel. ²² All this made King Solomon richer than all other monarchs, and his wisdom was equally immeasurable.
