Solomon’s Wealth

13 ^mNow the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold, 14 besides that which the explorers and merchants brought. ⁿAnd all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon.

22 Thus King Solomon ^qexcelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.

8 The Ammonites ^kpaid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread even to the border of Egypt, for he became very strong.

15 In Jerusalem he made machines, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and great stones. And his fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped, till he was strong.
