King Solomon makes shields of beaten gold and a great throne of ivory

솔로몬왕이 쳐서 늘인 금으로 방패를 만들고 상아로 큰 보좌를 만듦

1 Kings 10:14–22: the weight of gold that comes to Solomon in one year is six hundred sixty-six talents of gold, in addition to that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed people, and of the governors of the country. King Solomon makes two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler. He makes three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield; and the king puts them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon. The king makes a great throne of ivory, and overlays it with the finest gold. There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests. Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. The text says, “Nothing like it was made in any kingdom.” 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. The text says, “None were of silver, because it was considered of little value in the days of Solomon. For the king had a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet. Once every three years the fleet of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.” Where WEB reads “all the kings of the mixed people” (10:15), the Korean Revised Version reads 아라비아 왕들, the kings of Arabia; for “the House of the Forest of Lebanon” (10:17, 10:21) it reads 레바논 나무 궁, the palace of Lebanon wood; and for “two lions” (10:19) it reads 사자가 하나씩, a lion at each.
