KJV - 1 Kings 10:12

And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king’s house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.

The king created columns from special almug trees for both the Lord's house and his own palace. He also made musical instruments like harps and lyres for the singers. No other trees like these almug trees have been found or seen until now.
