And when the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} heard{H8085} of the fame{H8088} of Solomon,{H8010} she came{H935} to prove{H5254} Solomon{H8010} with hard questions{H2420} at Jerusalem,{H3389} with a very{H3966} great{H3515} train,{H2428} and camels{H1581} that bare{H5375} spices,{H1314} and gold{H2091} in abundance,{H7230} 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} and there was not anything hid{H5956} from Solomon{H8010} which he told{H5046} her not.

And when the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} had seen{H7200} 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} his cupbearers{H8248} also, and their apparel,{H4403} and his ascent{H5944} 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 their words,{H1697} until I came,{H935} and mine eyes{H5869} had seen{H7200} it; and, behold, the half{H2677} of the greatness{H4768} of thy wisdom{H2451} was not told{H5046} me: thou exceedest{H3254} the fame{H8052} that I heard.{H8085}

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

Blessed{H1288} be Jehovah{H3068} thy God,{H430} who delighted{H2654} in thee, to set{H5414} thee on his throne,{H3678} to be king{H4428} for Jehovah{H3068} thy God:{H430} because thy God{H430} loved{H160} Israel,{H3478} to establish{H5975} them for ever,{H5769} therefore made{H5414} he thee king{H4428} over them, 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 spices{H1314} in great{H3966} abundance,{H7230} and precious{H3368} stones:{H68} neither was there any such spice{H1314} as the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} gave{H5414} to king{H4428} Solomon.{H8010}

And the servants{H5650} also of Huram,{H2361} and the servants{H5650} of Solomon,{H8010} that brought{H935} gold{H2091} from Ophir,{H211} brought{H935} algum -{H6086} trees{H6086} and precious{H3368} stones.{H68}

And the king{H4428} made{H6213} of the algum -{H418} trees{H6086} terraces{H4546} for the house{H1004} of Jehovah,{H3068} and for the king's{H4428} house,{H1004} and harps{H3658} and psalteries{H5035} for the singers:{H7891} and there were none such{H1992} seen{H7200} before{H6440} in the land{H776} of Judah.{H3063}

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 she had brought{H935} unto the king.{H4428} So she turned,{H2015} and went to{H3212} 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} and threescore{H8346} and six{H8337} talents{H3603} of gold,{H2091}

besides that which the traders{H582} and merchants{H5503} brought:{H935} and all the kings{H4428} of Arabia{H6152} and the governors{H6346} of the country{H776} brought{H935} gold{H2091} and silver{H3701} to Solomon.{H8010}

And king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} made{H6213} two hundred{H3967} bucklers{H6793} of beaten{H7820} gold;{H2091} six{H8337} hundred{H3967} [shekels] of beaten{H7820} 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} hundred{H3967} [shekels] 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 pure{H2889} gold.{H2091}

And there were six{H8337} steps{H4609} to the throne,{H3678} with a footstool{H3534} of gold,{H2091} which were fastened{H270} to the throne,{H3678} and stays{H3027} on either side by the place{H4725} of the seat,{H3427} 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 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} silver{H3701} was nothing{H3972} accounted{H2803} of in the days{H3117} of Solomon.{H8010}

For the king{H4428} had ships{H591} that went{H1980} to Tarshish{H8659} with the servants{H5650} of Huram;{H2361} once{H259} every three{H7969} years{H8141} came{H935} the ships{H591} 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 wisdom.{H2451}

And all the kings{H4428} of the earth{H776} sought{H1245} the presence{H6440} of Solomon,{H8010} to 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} armor,{H5402} and spices,{H1314} horses,{H5483} and mules,{H6505} a rate{H1697} year{H8141} by year.{H8141}

And Solomon{H8010} had four{H702} thousand{H505} stalls{H723} for horses{H5483} and chariots,{H4818} and twelve{H8147} thousand{H505} horsemen,{H6571} that he bestowed{H3240} in the chariot{H7393} cities,{H5892} and with the king{H4428} at Jerusalem.{H3389}

And he ruled{H4910} over all the kings{H4428} from the River{H5104} even unto the land{H776} of the Philistines,{H6430} and to the border{H1366} of Egypt.{H4714}

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 they brought{H3318} horses{H5483} for Solomon{H8010} out of Egypt,{H4714} and out of all lands.{H776}

Now the rest{H7605} of the acts{H1697} of Solomon,{H8010} first{H7223} and last,{H314} are they not written{H3789} in the history{H1697} of Nathan{H5416} the prophet,{H5030} and in the prophecy{H5016} of Ahijah{H281} the Shilonite,{H7888} and in the visions{H2378} of Iddo{H3260} the seer{H2374} concerning Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat?{H5028}

And Solomon{H8010} reigned{H4427} in Jerusalem{H3389} over all Israel{H3478} forty{H705} years.{H8141}

And Solomon{H8010} slept{H7901} with his fathers,{H1} and he was buried{H6912} in the city{H5892} of David{H1732} his father:{H1} and Rehoboam{H7346} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427} in his stead.
