18Then the king made a great ivory throne and overlaid it with refined gold.

19The throne had six steps, and the throne had a rounded top at its back, and armrests on this side and on that beside the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.

20And twelve lions were standing there on the six steps, on this side and on that side; nothing like it had been made in any kingdom.
