* And the queen of Sheba had heard of Solomon 's fame . And she came to test Solomon with sharp questions at Jerusalem , with a very great train , and camels bearing spices , and gold in abundance , and precious stones . And she came in to Solomon and spoke with him all that was in her heart . * And Solomon told her all her matters ; and there was nothing hidden from Solomon that he did not declare to her . * And the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon , and the house that he had 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 their clothing , and his burnt offerings that he offered up in the house of Jehovah ; and there was no more spirit in her . * And she said to the king , The word that I heard in my land concerning your matters and concerning your wisdom is true . * But I had given no credit to their words , until I had come and my eyes had seen . And , behold , there was not declared to me half of the abundance of your wisdom . You exceeded the report that I heard . * Oh the happiness of your men , and the happiness of your servants , these who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom ! * May Jehovah your God be blessed , who has delighted in you , to put you on His throne to be king for Jehovah your God . In the love of your God toward Israel , to make it stand forever , He has put you over them as king , to do judgment and righteousness . * And she gave to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold , and spices in great plenty , and precious stones . And there has not been any spice as that the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon . * And also the servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon , who brought in gold from Ophir , brought in algum trees and precious stones . * And the king fashioned the algum trees into steps for the house of Jehovah , and for the king 's house , and lyres and harps for singers . and there was none like these before in the land of Judah . * And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked , besides that which she had brought to the king . And she turned and went to her land , she and her servants .
