Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Kings 10:12:

• Kupsabiny: “Solomon used that very wood to make stairs/ladders of the House of God and his home. He also used this very wood to make lyres and other things which the singers pluck. Such an amount of expensive wood was never again brought to this day.)” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “From this sandalwood the King made pillars for the temple of the LORD and the palace, and harps and lyres for the choirs. No sandalwood like that had ever been seen before in the land of Judah and even ’till today such sandalwood has never again been seen.)” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “The king used the almug wood for stairs/steps in the temple of the LORD and for the palace, and the others were-made harps and lyres for the musicians. Those were the best almug woods that were-brought to Israel; now there is no more that can-be-seen like those.)” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “King Solomon told his workers to use that wood to make railings/supports in the temple of Yahweh and in the king’s palace and also to make harps and lyres for the musicians/men who played musical instruments. That wood was the largest amount of (OR, the finest) wood that had ever been seen in Israel. And no one since then has ever seen so much wood of that kind.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
