*
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon ,
she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem ,
with a very great company ,
and camels that bare spices ,
and gold in abundance ,
and precious stones :
and when she was come to Solomon ,
she communed with him of all that was in her heart .
*
And Solomon told her all her questions :
and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not .
*
And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon ,
and the house that he had built ,
*
And the meat of his table ,
and the sitting of his servants ,
and the attendance of his ministers ,
and their apparel ;
his cupbearers also ,
and their apparel ;
and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD ;
there was no more spirit in her .
*
And she said to the king ,
It was a true report which I heard in mine own land of thine acts ,
and of thy wisdom :
*
Howbeit I believed not their words ,
until I came ,
and mine eyes had seen it :
and ,
behold ,
the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me :
for thou exceedest the fame that I heard .
*
Happy are thy men ,
and happy are these thy servants ,
which stand continually before thee ,
and hear thy wisdom .
*
Blessed be the LORD thy God ,
which delighted in thee to set thee on his throne ,
to be king for the LORD thy God :
because thy God loved Israel Yisra #
el #,
to establish them for ever ,
therefore made he thee king over them ,
to do judgment and justice .
*
And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold ,
and of spices great abundance ,
and precious stones :
neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon .
*
And the servants also of Huram ,
and the servants of Solomon ,
which brought gold from Ophir ,
brought algum trees and precious stones .
*
And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD ,
and to the kings palace ,
and harps and psalteries for singers :
and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah .
*
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire ,
whatsoever she asked ,
beside that which she had brought unto the king .
So she turned ,
and went away to her own land ,
she and her servants .
