Our note: King Solomon's reign was characterized by immense prosperity and wisdom, making him richer and wiser than any other king on Earth. During his time, silver was considered to be of little value, as abundant as stones in Jerusalem. His annual gold receipts were significant, with some sources stating he received 666 talents of gold per year, which is about 25 tons. This wealth was accumulated through commerce, trading, gifts, tribute money, and heavy taxation, leading to a kingdom of unparalleled riches and influence. He built a lavish palace and temple, attracting visitors from around the world who came to hear his wisdom and brought him gifts.
