1 Kings 10:20-22
International Standard Version
20 Twelve lions were placed on both sides of the six steps leading to the throne,[a] and nothing comparable was made for any other[b] kingdoms. 21 All of King Solomon’s drinking vessels were made of[c] gold, and all the vessels in his palace in the Lebanon forest were made of[d] pure gold. None were of silver, because silver was never considered to be valuable during Solomon’s lifetime, 22 because the king had ships that sailed to Tarshish accompanied by Hiram’s ships. Once every three years ships from Tarshish returned, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
