Bible Comments

1 Kings 10:21 . It was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon Comparatively, and about his palace; for it is not to be supposed that all his subjects had so much gold as to make no account of silver. But if gold in abundance would make silver seem so despicable, shall not wisdom and grace, and the foretastes of heaven, make gold seem much more so?

1 Kings 10:21

21 And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver:i it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
