וַיִּתֵּ֨ן הַמֶּ֧לֶךְ אֶת־הַכֶּ֛סֶף בִּירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם כָּאֲבָנִ֑ים וְאֵ֣ת הָאֲרָזִ֗ים נָתַ֛ן כַּשִּׁקְמִ֥ים אֲשֶׁר־בַּשְּׁפֵלָ֖ה לָרֹֽב׃
王在耶路撒冷使銀子多如石頭，使香柏木多如低地那繁多的埃及無花果樹。
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..
