16 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten (hammered) gold; [a]six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield. 17 He made three hundred smaller shields of beaten gold; [b]three minas of gold went into each shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon [the king’s armory]. 18 Also the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with the finest gold.
