A talent is a measure that can be used for gold, silver, copper, or other substances. The ordinary talents (not for Temple-usage) weighed about 30 kilo. Now you have to decide whether you're asking about today's worth (30 kilo gold at today's price) or its ancient purchasing power, which was quite different. A single gold shekel (=25 silver shekels) was enough to support a small family for about six months. A whole talent of gold would have been a vast treasure, enough to feed an entire town for a few years.

How much is 120 talents worth?

This is a difficult question to answer as the Talent varied depending upon the area in which it was used. As an example, the Babylonian Talent (as used in the Old Testament) was equivalent to 30.3 kg whereas in the New Testament, what was known as the 'Common talent' was equivalent to only 58.9 kg.And, as the Talent was a unit of weight rather than of currency, its actual worth depended upon whether or not it was a Talent of silver or of gold.Whatever its form, the Talent, transferred to a weight of gold or silver, was an extraordinary amount of money.If we assume a New Testament talent of gold, this represents 58900 grams of gold. At today's prices (April 2011) one gram of gold is worth about US$ 46 (or £28 approx). This means that 120 talents of gold are $46 x 58900 x 120.This is $325,128,000 or £197,904,000.

How much is 100000 talents of gold worth today?

The value of 100,000 talents of gold can vary significantly based on the historical context and the current price of gold. A talent is approximately 33 kilograms, so 100,000 talents would equal about 3.3 billion kilograms of gold. Given the current gold price of around $60 per gram, this amounts to approximately $198 trillion today. However, it's essential to note that such historical conversions can be complex and are often subject to interpretation.

How much in kilograms does a hundred thousand talents of gold and a thousand thousand talents of silver weigh and their current value 1 Chronicle 22v14?

According to ChristianAnswers.net (see related link), the Hebrew talent, which consisted of 3000 "sanctuary shekels" (Exodus 38:25-26), is roughly 94 3/7 lbs avoirdupois. The Greek talent, however, was lighter. According to 2 Samuel 12:30, a talent of gold was twice the weight of a talent of silver. The current value of gold and silver fluctuates daily; as of October 14, 2008 12:22 pm EDT, one Troy ounce of gold is going for about US $ 826, while one Troy ounce of silver is at about US$ 10.81. Since the current market values are changing greatly, these values could be invalid at the time someone reads it. Still, given those values, a hundred thousand talents of gold would be worth roughly US$ 227,495,216,004.54, while a million ("thousand thousand") talents of silver would convert to US$ 14,886,339,497.64.
