question:  What king had a throne made of ivory and overlaid with gold?

answer:  Solomon – 1 Kings 10:18

“And King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.  He also made three hundred shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield.  The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.  Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.  The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round at the back; there were armrests on either side of the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the armrests.  Twelve lions stood there, one on each side of the six steps; nothing like this had been made for any other kingdom” (1 Kings 10:16-20).

~ “Yahweh” and 8 More ~

In this series we look at God’s names (formal and informal from Biblical and English languages) as well as clear descriptors of God from Scripture.  In 26 posts we look at names which start with a successive letter of the English alphabet.  (Only a sample of many references are provided.)  Each of these names / descriptors apply to one or more members of the Triune Godhead. 

YAH (self-existence)  ~  Exodus 15:2

YAHWEH  ~  Note: Yahweh is a name which is found more than 6,800 times in the Old Testament and is translated into English as either “Lord” or “Jehovah.”
