There are many websites that make the following claim: Silver is also mentioned in the Bible where royalty carried water in silver vessels in the belief that this water would help them maintain their health. ( http://www.angelfire.com/folk/naturalife/collsilv.html and ahttp://www.island.net/~zapper/Colloidal%20Silver.html are just two examples )
Searching for citations in the Bible however I have only found a couple of references: Daniel 5:2 While Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold and silver goblets that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them. Genesis 44:2 (New International Version) Then put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one's sack, along with the silver for his grain." And he did as Joseph said. So, although silver was used for cups, the reason for them doing so does not appear as clear cut as those sites would have you believe. I might have missed the appropriate passage though.
