Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD ,
she came to test him with difficult questions .

1Kings:10:2 @
So she came to Jerusalem with a very large retinue ,
with camels carrying spices and very much gold and precious stones .
When she came to Solomon ,
she spoke with him about all that was in her heart .

Solomon answered all her questions ;
nothing was hidden from the king which he did not explain to her .

When the queen of Sheba perceived all the wisdom of Solomon ,
the house that he had built ,

the food of his table ,
the seating of his servants ,
the attendance of his waiters and their attire ,
his cupbearers ,
and his stairway by which he went up to the house of the LORD ,
there was no more spirit in her .

Then she said to the king , "
It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom .
nasb @
1Kings:10:7 " @
Nevertheless I did not believe the reports ,
until I came and my eyes had seen it .
And behold ,
the half was not told me .
You exceed in wisdom and prosperity the report which I heard .

1Kings:10:8 " @
How blessed are your men ,
how blessed are these your servants who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom .

1Kings:10:9 " @
Blessed be the LORD your God who delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel ;
because the LORD loved Israel forever ,
therefore He made you king ,
to do justice and righteousness ."

She gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold ,
and a very great amount of spices and precious stones .
Never again did such abundance of spices come in as that which the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon .

Also the ships of Hiram ,
which brought gold from Ophir ,
brought in from Ophir a very great number of almug trees and precious stones .
nasb @

The king made of the almug trees supports for the house of the LORD and for the king '
s house ,
also lyres and harps for the singers ;
such almug trees have not come in again nor have they been seen to this day .

King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire which she requested ,
besides what he gave her according to his royal bounty .
Then she turned and went to her own land together with her servants .
