# two hundred large shields

"200 large shields" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])

# Six hundred shekels

Because the word "shekels" does not appear here in the Hebrew text, some modern versions assume instead the unit of bekah, which was equivalent to only a half shekel. Any version making this assumption would signal a metric equivalent of about three kilograms.

# He also made
