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.
Silver was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.
For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with Huram’s servants.
Once every three years, the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
