- the king:
- He destroyed its value by making it so exceedingly plentiful. "Wisdomª and knowledgeª [is] grantedª° unto thee; and I will giveª° thee riches,ª and wealth,ª and honour,ª such as¹¹ none¹ of the kingsª have had¹ that¹ [have been] beforeª thee, neither¹ shall there any afterª thee have¹ the like.¹" {2Ch 1:12} + "And the kingª madeª°¹ silverª in Jerusalemª as stones,ª and cedar treesª madeª° he as the sycomore treesª that¹ [are] in the low plainsª in abundance.ª" {2Ch 9:27} + "And the kingª madeª°¹ silverª [to be] in Jerusalemª as stones,ª and cedarsª madeª° he [to be] as the sycomore treesª that¹ [are] in the vale,ª for abundance.ª ... And a chariotª came upª° and went outª° of Egyptª¹ for sixª hundredª [shekels] of silver,ª and an horseª for an hundredª and fifty:ª and so¹ for all¹ the kingsª of the Hittites,ª and for the kingsª of Syria,ª did they bring [them] outª° by their means.ª" {1Kg 10:27-29} + "Then shalt thou lay upª° goldª asª dust,ª and the [gold] of Ophirª as the stonesª of the brooks.ª ... Yea, the Almightyª shall be¹ thy defence,ª and thou shalt have plentyª of silver.ª" {Job 22:24-25} + "For¹ brassª I will bringª° gold,ª and for¹ ironª I will bringª° silver,ª and for¹ woodª brass,ª and for¹ stonesª iron:ª I will also makeª° thy officersª peace,ª and thine exactorsª° righteousness.ª" {Isa 60:17}
