1 Kings 10:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
1 Kings 10:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
10 Then she gave the king one hundred twenty talents[a] of gold and a great quantity of spices and many precious stones. There was never again anything comparable to the huge amount of spices and incense which the Queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
11 In addition, Hiram’s fleet brought gold from Ophir and a great quantity of almug[b] wood and also precious stones. 12 The king made the almug wood into steps[c] for the Lord’s house and for the house of the king, as well as lyres and harps for his singers. So much fine almug wood has never been brought or seen to this present day.
