1 Kings 10:13

Queen of ShebaSolomonSheba

11 (The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought from Ophir a great cargo of almug wood and precious stones.

12 The king made the almug wood into steps for the house of the LORD and for the king’s palace, and into lyres and harps for the singers. Never before had such almug wood been brought in, nor has such been seen to this day.)

King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever she asked—besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. Then she left and returned to her own country, along with her servants.

14 The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents,

15 not including the revenue from the merchants, traders, and all the Arabian kings and governors of the land.
