2 Chronicles 9:12

Queen of ShebaSolomonSheba

10 (The servants of Hiram and of Solomon who brought gold from Ophir also brought algum wood and precious stones.

11 The king made the algum 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 anything like them been seen in the land of Judah.)

King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever she asked—far more than she had brought the king. Then she left and returned to her own country, along with her servants.

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

14 not including the revenue from the merchants and traders. And all the Arabian kings and governors of the land also brought gold and silver to Solomon.
