2 Chronicles 9:20-22
English Standard Version
20 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. Silver was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon. 21 For the king's ships went to (A)Tarshish with the servants of Hiram. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish used to come bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.[a]
22 Thus King Solomon (B)excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
