2 Chronicles 9:21-23
EasyEnglish Bible

21 The king had many large ships that King Hiram's men could sail across the seas.[a] Every three years they returned to Solomon with their loads. They brought to him gold, silver and ivory. They also brought apes and monkeys.[b]

22 King Solomon was richer and wiser than any other king in the world. 23 The kings of every nation in the world wanted to talk to Solomon. They wanted to listen to the wisdom that God had given to him.
