1 Kings 4:28

Context
4:28 Each one also brought to the assigned location his quota of barley and straw for the various horses. 1 

1 Kings 9:28

Context
9:28 They sailed 2  to Ophir, took from there four hundred twenty talents 3  of gold, and then brought them to King Solomon.

1 tn Heb “barley and straw for the horses and the steeds they brought to the place which was there, each according to his measure.”

2 tn Heb “went.”

3 tn The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 31,500 pounds of gold (cf. NCV); CEV, NLT “sixteen tons”; TEV “more than 14,000 kilogrammes.”
