18and six steps [are] to the throne, and a footstool of gold, to the throne they are fastened, and hands [are] on this [side] and on that on the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,
19and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps on this [side], and on that: it hath not been made so for any kingdom.
20And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon [are] of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon [are] of refined gold -- silver is not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything;
21for ships of the king are going to Tarshish, with servants of Huram: once in three years come do the ships of Tarshish bearing gold, and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
22And king Solomon becometh greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom;
23and all the kings of the earth are seeking the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom that God hath put in his heart,
24and they are bringing in each his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
