    1 Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions.

    2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels weighted down with spices, and stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.

    3 And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which the king did not make clear to her.

    4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,

    5 And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.

    6 And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.

    8 Happy are your wives, happy are these your servants whose place is ever before you, hearing your words of wisdom.

    9 May the Lord your God be praised, whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; because the Lord's love for Israel is eternal, he has made you king, to be their judge in righteousness.

    10 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a great store of spices and jewels: never again was such a wealth of spices seen as that which the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.
