1 Kings 10:22-24

Living Bible

²² King Solomon’s merchant fleet was in partnership with King Hiram’s, and once every three years a great load of gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks arrived at the Israeli ports.

²³ So King Solomon was richer and wiser than all the kings of the earth. ²⁴ Great men from many lands came to interview him and listen to his God-given wisdom.
