Talmud zu Divrej Hajamim II 9:27
וַיִּתֵּ֨ן הַמֶּ֧לֶךְ אֶת־הַכֶּ֛סֶף בִּירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם כָּאֲבָנִ֑ים וְאֵ֣ת הָאֲרָזִ֗ים נָתַ֛ן כַּשִּׁקְמִ֥ים אֲשֶׁר־בַּשְּׁפֵלָ֖ה לָרֹֽב׃
Und der König machte Silber zu Jerusalem als Steine, und Zedern machten ihn zu Bergahorn, die im Tiefland sind, für Überfluss.
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
And silver and gold he shall not add excessively, and it is written: The king made silver in Jerusalem to be like stones1901K. 10:27, 2Chr. 1:15.. Were they not stolen? Rebbi Yose ben Ḥanina said, they were stones of ten cubits and eight cubits191A silver block of 8 cubits side length would weigh 1.7 metric tons.. Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish stated: In Solomon’s times, even weights were not of silver but of gold. Why? Silver was not valuable in Solomon’s times1921K. 10:21, 2Chr. 9:27..
