Also, king Solomon made a great throne from ivory. And he clothed it with a great quantity of red gold.
The throne had six steps, and the summit of the throne was rounded in the back section. And there were two hands, on one side and the other, holding the seat. And two lions were standing beside each hand,
with twelve little lions standing upon the six steps, on one side and the other. No similar work has been made, ever in any kingdom.
