2 Chronicles 9:24

20All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. Silver was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.

21For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with Huram’s servants. Once every three years, the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.

22So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

23All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

24They each brought tribute: vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules every year.

25Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen that he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.

26He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.

27The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars to be as abundant as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.

28They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt and out of all lands.
