## 1 Kings 10:22-23 in Context (Verses 19–26 KJV)
 
 [19 ](/kjv/1-kings/10/19) The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne *was* round behind: and *there were* stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.**
 
 [20 ](/kjv/1-kings/10/20) And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.*
 
 [21 ](/kjv/1-kings/10/21) ¶ And 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; none *were of* silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/1-kings/10/22) For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.*
 
 [23 ](/kjv/1-kings/10/23) So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/1-kings/10/24) ¶ And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.*
 
 [25 ](/kjv/1-kings/10/25) And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/1-kings/10/26) ¶ And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.
