Verse 17 is found in chapter 10 of 1 Kings. The enormous quantity of gold and goods described during Solomon’s reign represents the height of his wealth and power. The throne, shields, vessels, and commercial fleet display a monarchy of extraordinary splendor. Yet this accumulation also creates tension with the law’s warnings concerning a king’s accumulation of wealth. The reader therefore sees both the glory and the risks of this prosperity.
