There was not the like made in any kingdome. 20¶ And all the drinking vessels of King Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forrest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of siluer; it was not any thing accounted of in the dayes of Solomon. 21For the kings ships went to Tarshish with the seruants of Huram: euerie three yeeres once came the ships of Tarshish bringing golde, and siluer, yuorie, and apes, and peacocks. 22And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisedome. 23¶ And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to heare his wisedome, that God had put in his heart.
