16 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one target.
17 And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pounds of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18 Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
