What does 1 Kings 10:21 mean?

All of Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils in the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Silver was considered worthless in Solomon's day. 1 Kings 10:21 - Modern Text Bible

(Gold is so common in Solomon's court that silver is seen as insignificant. This shows the extreme wealth and luxury of his reign.)
