Christian Standard Bible
21 All of King Solomon’s drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon(A) were pure gold.(B) There was no silver, since it was considered as nothing in Solomon’s time, 22 for the king had ships of Tarshish(C) at sea with Hiram’s fleet, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.[a](D)
23 King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the world in riches and in wisdom.(E)

New International Version
21 All King Solomon’s goblets were gold, and all the household articles in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold.(A) Nothing was made of silver, because silver was considered of little value in Solomon’s days. 22 The king had a fleet of trading ships[a](B) at sea along with the ships(C) of Hiram. Once every three years it returned, carrying gold, silver and ivory, and apes and baboons.
23 King Solomon was greater in riches(D) and wisdom(E) than all the other kings of the earth.
