* And the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon as to the name of Jehovah , and she came to test him with hard questions . * And she came to Jerusalem with a very great company , camels bearing spices , and very much gold , and precious stones . And she came to Solomon and spoke with him all that had been in her heart . * And Solomon told her all her matters ; there was not one thing hidden from the king that he did not declare to her . * And the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon , and the house that he built , * and the food of his table , and the sitting of his servants , and the standing of his ministers , and their clothing , and his cupbearers and his burnt offering that he offered in the house of Jehovah ; and there was no more breath in her . * And she said to the king , The word that I heard in my land was true as to your matters and your wisdom . * And I did not believe the words until I had come and my eyes had seen ; and behold , the half was not told to me . You have wisdom and prosperity exceeding the fame which I heard . * Oh the happiness of your men ! Oh the happiness of your servants , these who stand before you continually , who hear your wisdom ! * Blessed be Jehovah your God who delighted in you , to put you on the throne of Israel , because Jehovah loved Israel forever , therefore He made you king , to do judgment and righteousness . * And she gave to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold , and very many spices , and precious stones ; no spice like that came any more for abundance , that the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon . * And also , the navy of Hiram that bore gold from Ophir brought in from Ophir almug trees , a great many , and precious stones ; * and the king made the almug trees a support for the house of Jehovah , and for the king 's house , and harps and lyres for singers ; no such almug trees have come , nor have there been seen such to this day . * And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked , apart from that which he gave to her as a memorial of king Solomon . And she turned and went to her land , she and her servants .
