1 Kings 10:3

And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for the king to explain.

1 Kings 10:4

When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,

1 Kings 10:5

the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the service and attire of his attendants and cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he presented at the house of the LORD, it took her breath away.

1 Kings 10:6

She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.

1 Kings 10:7

But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity have far exceeded the report I heard.

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

1 Kings 10:15

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

1 Kings 10:16

King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.

1 Kings 10:17

He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

1 Kings 10:18

Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.

1 Kings 10:19

The throne had six steps, and its back had a rounded top. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with a lion standing beside each armrest.

1 Kings 10:20

Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.

and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.

So these four descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
