Evangelical Heritage Version
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold. Seven and a half pounds[a] of hammered gold went into each shield. 16 He made three hundred small shields of hammered gold. Almost four pounds[b] of gold went into each shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
17 The king made a large ivory throne and overlaid it with pure gold.

- 2 Chronicles 9:15 The Hebrew reads six hundred ___ of gold. Six hundred bekas would be seven and a half pounds, but the Hebrew text supplies no unit of measure. If the unit of measurement is the shekel, the weight in pounds would double.
- 2 Chronicles 9:16 The Hebrew reads three hundred ____ of gold. The parallel in 1 Kings 10:17 reads three minas. A mina is sixty or perhaps fifty shekels. The ratio of bekas to minas supports the idea that the weight here is bekas.
