New King James Version
10 Then she (A)gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great quantity, and precious stones. There never again came such abundance of spices as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon. 11 (B)Also, the ships of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought great quantities of [a]almug wood and precious stones from Ophir. 12 (C)And the king made [b]steps of the almug wood for the house of the Lord and for the king’s house, also harps and stringed instruments for singers. There never again came such (D)almug wood, nor has the like been seen to this day.

1 Kings 10:10-12
New International Version
10 And she gave the king 120 talents[a] of gold,(A) large quantities of spices, and precious stones. Never again were so many spices brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
11 (Hiram’s ships brought gold from Ophir;(B) and from there they brought great cargoes of almugwood[b] and precious stones. 12 The king used the almugwood to make supports[c] for the temple of the Lord and for the royal palace, and to make harps and lyres for the musicians. So much almugwood has never been imported or seen since that day.)
