And when the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} heard{H8085} of the fame{H8088} of Solomon{H8010} concerning the name{H8034} of Jehovah,{H3068} she came{H935} to prove{H5254} him with hard questions.{H2420}

And she came{H935} to Jerusalem{H3389} with a very{H3966} great{H3515} train,{H2428} with camels{H1581} that bare{H5375} spices,{H1314} and very{H3966} much{H7227} gold,{H2091} and precious{H3368} stones;{H68} and when she was come{H935} to Solomon,{H8010} she communed{H1696} with him of all that was in her heart.{H3824}

And Solomon{H8010} told{H5046} her all her questions:{H1697} there was not anything{H1697} hid{H5956} from the king{H4428} which he told{H5046} her not.

And when the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} had seen{H7200} all the wisdom{H2451} of Solomon,{H8010} and the house{H1004} that he had built,{H1129}

and the food{H3978} of his table,{H7979} and the sitting{H4186} of his servants,{H5650} and the attendance{H4612} of his ministers,{H8334} and their apparel,{H4403} and his cupbearers,{H8248} and his ascent{H5930} by which he went up{H5927} unto the house{H1004} of Jehovah;{H3068} there was no more spirit{H7307} in her.

And she said{H559} to the king,{H4428} It was a true{H571} report{H1697} that I heard{H8085} in mine own land{H776} of thine acts,{H1697} and of thy wisdom.{H2451}

Howbeit I believed{H539} not the words,{H1697} until I came,{H935} and mine eyes{H5869} had seen{H7200} it: and, behold, the half{H2677} was not told{H5046} me; thy wisdom{H2451} and prosperity{H2896} exceed{H3254} the fame{H8052} which I heard.{H8085}

Happy{H835} are thy men,{H582} happy{H835} are these thy servants,{H5650} that stand{H5975} continually{H8548} before{H6440} thee, [and] that hear{H8085} thy wisdom.{H2451}

Blessed{H1288} be Jehovah{H3068} thy God,{H430} who delighted{H2654} in thee, to set{H5414} thee on the throne{H3678} of Israel:{H3478} because Jehovah{H3068} loved{H160} Israel{H3478} for ever,{H5769} therefore made{H7760} he thee king,{H4428} to do{H6213} justice{H4941} and righteousness.{H6666}

And she gave{H5414} the king{H4428} a hundred{H3967} and twenty{H6242} talents{H3603} of gold,{H2091} and of spices{H1314} very{H3966} great store,{H7235} and precious{H3368} stones:{H68} there came{H935} no more such{H1931} abundance{H7230} of spices{H1314} as these which the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} gave{H5414} to king{H4428} Solomon.{H8010}

And the navy{H590} also of Hiram,{H2438} that brought{H5375} gold{H2091} from Ophir,{H211} brought in{H935} from Ophir{H211} great{H3966} plenty{H7235} of almug -{H484} trees{H6086} and precious{H3368} stones.{H68}

And the king{H4428} made{H6213} of the almug -{H484} trees{H6086} pillars{H4552} for the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} and for the king's{H4428} house,{H1004} harps{H3658} also and psalteries{H5035} for the singers:{H7891} there came{H935} no such almug -{H484} trees,{H6086} nor were seen,{H7200} unto this day.{H3117}

And king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} gave{H5414} to the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} all her desire,{H2656} whatsoever she asked,{H7592} besides that which Solomon{H8010} gave{H5414} her of his royal{H4428} bounty.{H3027} So she turned,{H6437} and went{H3212} to her own land,{H776} she and her servants.{H5650}

Now the weight{H4948} of gold{H2091} that came{H935} to Solomon{H8010} in one{H259} year{H8141} was six{H8337} hundred{H3967} threescore{H8346} and six{H8337} talents{H3603} of gold,{H2091}

besides [that which] the traders{H582} [brought], and the traffic{H4536} of the merchants,{H7402} and of all the kings{H4428} of the mingled{H6153} people, and of the governors{H6346} of the country.{H776}

And king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} made{H6213} two hundred{H3967} bucklers{H6793} of beaten{H7820} gold;{H2091} six{H8337} hundred{H3967} [shekels] of gold{H2091} went{H5927} to one{H259} buckler.{H6793}

And [he made] three{H7969} hundred{H3967} shields{H4043} of beaten{H7820} gold;{H2091} three{H7969} pounds{H4488} of gold{H2091} went{H5927} to one{H259} shield:{H4043} and the king{H4428} put{H5414} them in the house{H1004} of the forest{H3293} of Lebanon.{H3844}

Moreover the king{H4428} made{H6213} a great{H1419} throne{H3678} of ivory,{H8127} and overlaid{H6823} it with the finest{H6338} gold.{H2091}

There were six{H8337} steps{H4609} to the throne,{H3678} and the top{H7218} of the throne{H3678} was round{H5696} behind;{H310} and there were stays{H3027} on either side by the place{H4725} of the seat,{H7675} and two{H8147} lions{H738} standing{H5975} beside{H681} the stays.{H3027}

And twelve{H8147} lions{H738} stood{H5975} there on the one side and on the other upon the six{H8337} steps:{H4609} there was not the like{H3651} made{H6213} in any kingdom.{H4467}

And all king{H4428} Solomon's{H8010} drinking{H4945} vessels{H3627} were of gold,{H2091} and all the vessels{H3627} of the house{H1004} of the forest{H3293} of Lebanon{H3844} were of pure{H5462} gold:{H2091} none were of silver;{H3701} it was nothing{H3972} accounted{H2803} of in the days{H3117} of Solomon.{H8010}

For the king{H4428} had at sea{H3220} a navy{H590} of Tarshish{H8659} with the navy{H590} of Hiram:{H2438} once{H259} every three{H7969} years{H8141} came{H935} the navy{H590} of Tarshish,{H8659} bringing{H5375} gold,{H2091} and silver,{H3701} ivory,{H8143} and apes,{H6971} and peacocks.{H8500}

So king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} exceeded{H1431} all the kings{H4428} of the earth{H776} in riches{H6239} and in wisdom.{H2451}

And all the earth{H776} sought{H1245} the presence of Solomon,{H8010} to{H6440} hear{H8085} his wisdom,{H2451} which God{H430} had put{H5414} in his heart.{H3820}

And they brought{H935} every man{H376} his tribute,{H4503} vessels{H3627} of silver,{H3701} and vessels{H3627} of gold,{H2091} and raiment,{H8008} and armor,{H5402} and spices,{H1314} horses,{H5483} and mules,{H6505} a rate{H1697} year{H8141} by year.{H8141}

And Solomon{H8010} gathered together{H622} chariots{H7393} and horsemen:{H6571} and he had a thousand{H505} and four{H702} hundred{H3967} chariots,{H7393} and twelve{H8147} thousand{H505} horsemen,{H6571} that he bestowed{H5148} in the chariot{H7393} cities,{H5892} and with the king{H4428} at Jerusalem.{H3389}

And the king{H4428} made{H5414} silver{H3701} to be in Jerusalem{H3389} as stones,{H68} and cedars{H730} made{H5414} he to be as the sycomore-trees{H8256} that are in the lowland,{H8219} for abundance.{H7230}

And the horses{H5483} which Solomon{H8010} had were brought{H4161} out of Egypt;{H4714} and the king's{H4428} merchants{H5503} received{H3947} them in droves,{H4723} each drove{H4723} at a price.{H4242}

And a chariot{H4818} came up{H5927} and went out{H3318} of Egypt{H4714} for six{H8337} hundred{H3967} [shekels] of silver,{H3701} and a horse{H5483} for a hundred{H3967} and fifty;{H2572} and so for all the kings{H4428} of the Hittites,{H2850} and for the kings{H4428} of Syria,{H758} did they bring them out{H3318} [ by their means.]{H3027}
