1 Kings 10:16

10:16 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; 600 measures ¹  of gold were used for each shield.

1 Kings 10:29

10:29 They paid 600 silver pieces for each chariot from Egypt and 150 silver pieces for each horse. They also sold chariots and horses to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Syria. ² 

1 Kings 11:3

11:3 He had 700 royal wives ³  and 300 concubines; ⁴  his wives had a powerful influence over him. ⁵ 

[10:16]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text has simply “six hundred,” with no unit of measure given.

[10:29]  ² tn Heb “and a chariot went up and came out of Egypt for six hundred silver [pieces], and a horse for one hundred fifty, and in the same way to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram by their hand they brought out.”

[11:3]  ³ tn Heb “wives, princesses.”

[11:3]  ⁴ sn Concubines were slave women in ancient Near Eastern societies who were the legal property of their master, but who could have legitimate sexual relations with their master. A concubine’s status was more elevated than a mere servant, but she was not free and did not have the legal rights of a free wife. The children of a concubine could, in some instances, become equal heirs with the children of the free wife. The usage in the present passage suggests that after the period of the Judges concubines may have become more of a royal prerogative (cf. also 2 Sam 21:10-14).

[11:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “his wives bent his heart.”
