What Does 2 Chronicles 9:20 Mean?
The portrait of abundance continues. Every drinking vessel of the king and every vessel in the house of the forest of Lebanon was pure gold; none were silver, for in Solomon's days silver counted as nothing worth noting.
When the greater glory comes, the lesser is forgotten. So it is when a soul beholds true riches: the things once prized lose their hold. The apostle counted all his former gains as loss for the surpassing worth of knowing Christ, beside whom every silver thing is little accounted of.
