Then she gave the king 120 talents[a] of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. There were no spices such as those that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

10 Moreover, the servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon, (A)who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum wood and precious stones. 11 And the king made from the algum wood (B)supports for the house of the Lord and for the king's house, lyres also and harps for the singers. There never was seen the like of them before in the land of Judah.
