• Queen of Sheba realized and confessed that Shlomo’s wisdom was far greater than she had imagined.

• Chiram’s fleet of ships brought gold and Almug trees (coral) as gifts for Shlomo.

• Shlomo used so much gold, that silver was considered worthless.

• Shlomo would set fixed prices to buy chariots and riders.
