1 Kings 10:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 And all King Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the wood of Lebanon were of pure gold, none were of silver: for it was nothing esteemed in the days of Solomon
22 For the King had on the sea the navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of [a]Tarshish, and brought gold and silver, ivory, and apes and peacocks.
23 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth both in riches and in wisdom.
