1 Kings 10:20-22
New International Version - UK
20 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like it had ever been made for any other kingdom. 21 All King Solomon’s goblets were gold, and all the household articles in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. 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] at sea along with the ships of Hiram. Once every three years it returned carrying gold, silver and ivory, and apes and baboons.
