17The king made a great ivory throne and overlaid it with pure gold.

18There were six steps to the throne, and a gold footstool attached to the throne, and armrests on this side and on that beside the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.

19And twelve lions were standing there on the six steps, on this side and on that side. Nothing like it had been made for any kingdom.
