21 For the king’s ships went to (A)Tarshish with the servants of [a]Hiram. Once every three years the [b]merchant ships came, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and [c]monkeys.
22 So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. 23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
