Context — Solomon’s Wealth and Splendor
18The throne had six steps, and a footstool of gold was attached to it. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with a lion standing beside each armrest.
19Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.
20All King Solomon’s drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, because it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.
21For the king had the ships of Tarshish that went with Hiram’s servants, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. 22So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.Cross References

2 Chronicles 9:20 Summary
This verse, 2 Chronicles 9:20, tells us that King Solomon was very rich and had many golden cups and utensils. He had so much gold that silver was not even considered valuable, as it says 'there was no silver, because it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.' This shows us that Solomon's kingdom was extremely wealthy, but it also reminds us that earthly riches are not what truly matter, as Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:19-21. We should focus on storing up treasures in heaven, rather than just accumulating wealth on earth, as encouraged in Luke 12:21.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of King Solomon's drinking cups being made of gold?
The fact that King Solomon's drinking cups were made of gold highlights the great wealth and opulence of his kingdom, as seen in 2 Chronicles 9:20. This is also a fulfillment of God's promise to Solomon in 1 Kings 3:13, where God grants him riches and honor.
Why is silver mentioned as being accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon?
The mention of silver being accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon, as stated in 2 Chronicles 9:20, emphasizes the vast wealth of Solomon's kingdom, where even a valuable metal like silver was considered insignificant compared to gold, as seen in the abundance of gold mentioned in 1 Kings 10:21.
What can we learn from the fact that all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold?
The use of pure gold for all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon, as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 9:20, demonstrates the extravagance and luxury of Solomon's kingdom, and serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of earthly wealth, as warned in 1 Timothy 6:17.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the Bible's teachings on wealth and materialism?
This verse, in the context of 2 Chronicles 9:20, highlights the dangers of excessive focus on wealth and materialism, as also warned in Matthew 6:19-21, and encourages believers to prioritize spiritual riches, as taught in Matthew 6:33 and Luke 12:21.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I prioritize material wealth over spiritual riches, and how can I adjust my focus to align with God's teachings?
- How can I balance the enjoyment of God's blessings, such as wealth and prosperity, with a humble and grateful heart, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 5:18?
- In what ways can I use my resources, whether great or small, to glorify God and advance His kingdom, as taught in Matthew 25:14-30?
- What are some potential pitfalls of excessive wealth and luxury, and how can I guard against them in my own life, as warned in Proverbs 30:8-9?
