The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Præbuitque rex argentum et aurum in Jerusalem quasi lapides, et cedros quasi sycomoros quæ nascuntur in campestribus multitudine magna.
Septuagint (Swete)
καὶ ἔθηκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ὡς λίθους, καὶ τὰς κέδρους ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ ὡς συκαμίνους τὰς ἐν τῇ πεδινῇ εἰς πλῆθος.
Hebrew (WLC)
וַיִּתֵּ֨ן הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ אֶת הַכֶּ֧סֶף וְאֶת הַזָּהָ֛ב בִּירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם כָּאֲבָנִ֑ים וְאֵ֣ת הָאֲרָזִ֗ים נָתַ֛ן כַּשִּׁקְמִ֥ים אֲשֶׁר בַּשְּׁפֵלָ֖ה לָרֹֽב

Haydock's commentary

Sycamores are trees of small value, and not good for building. (Tirinus)
