*
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD ,
she came to prove him with hard questions .
*
And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train ,
with camels that bare spices ,
and very much gold ,
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 :
there was not any thing hid from the king ,
which he told her not .
*
And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon '
s wisdom ,
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 ,
and his cupbearers ,
and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD ;
there was no more spirit in her .
*
And she said to the king ,
It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom .
*
Howbeit I believed not the words ,
until I came ,
and mine eyes had seen it :
and ,
behold ,
the half was not told me :
thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard .
*
Happy are thy men ,
happy are these thy servants ,
which stand continually before thee ,
and that hear thy wisdom .
*
Blessed be the LORD thy God ,
which delighted in thee ,
to set thee on the throne of Israel :
because the LORD loved Israel for ever ,
therefore made he thee king ,
to do judgment and justice .
*
And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold ,
and of spices very great store ,
and precious stones :
there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon .
*
And the navy also of Hiram ,
that brought gold from Ophir ,
brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees ,
and precious stones .
*
And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD ,
and for the king '
s house ,
harps also and psalteries for singers :
there came no such almug trees ,
nor were seen unto this day .
*
And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire ,
whatsoever she asked ,
beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty .
So she turned and went to her own country ,
she and her servants .
