1-KINGS 10:5

And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.

1-KINGS 10:6

1-KINGS 10:18

The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.

1-KINGS 10:19

And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps there was not the like made in any kingdom.

1-KINGS 10:20

And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
