Read in context

1 Kings 9:24–28 · Berean Standard Bible

24 As soon as Pharaoh’s daughter had come up from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the supporting terraces.

25 Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar he had built for the LORD, burning incense with them before the LORD. So he completed the temple.

26 King Solomon also assembled a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.

27 And Hiram sent his servants, men who knew the sea, to serve in the fleet with Solomon’s servants.

28 They sailed to Ophir and imported gold from there—420 talents —and delivered it to Solomon.
