1 Kings 10:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ Twelve lions stood there, one on either end of each of the six steps; there was nothing like it ever made in any kingdom.

²¹ All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver; it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.

²² For the king had a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years the fleet of ships of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
