And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the vale, for abundance.

Verse 27 is found in chapter 10 of 1 Kings. Solomon surpasses the other kings in wealth and wisdom, and visitors from various nations come to hear him. Horses and chariots imported from Egypt and elsewhere complete the portrait of a regional power. The section reaches the kingdom’s peak of international prestige. Yet these very elements of wealth, horses, and military trade prepare the contrast with the requirements of the law and the king’s later spiritual decline.

Und der König machte, daß des Silbers zu Jerusalem so viel war wie die Steine, und Zedernholz so viel wie die wilden Feigenbäume in den Gründen
Y puso el rey en Jerusalem plata como piedras, y cedros como los cabrahigos que están por los campos en abundancia.
El rey hizo que en Jerusalén la plata fuera tan abundante como las piedras, y los cedros tan numerosos como los sicómoros de la Sefela.
Le roi rendit l'argent aussi commun à Jérusalem que les pierres, et les cèdres aussi nombreux que les sycomores qui croissent dans la plaine.
Ed il re fece che l’argento era in Gerusalemme in quantità come le pietre; ed i cedri come i sicomori che son per la campagna.
E fez o rei que em Jerusalém houvesse prata como pedras; e cedros em abundância como sicômoros que estão nas planícies.
王在 耶路撒冷 使銀子多如石頭,香柏木多如 謝非拉 的桑樹。
