Indeed, not even half was told to me; your wisdom and prosperity surpass the report I heard. 8 How happy your people must be! How blessed your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom! 9 Praise be to the LORD your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on the throne of Israel. Because of the LORD's eternal love for Israel, he has made you king to uphold justice and righteousness. 10 And she gave the king 120 talents of gold, large quantities of spices, and precious stones.

Such fine almug wood has never been imported or seen since that day. 13 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired and asked for, in addition to what he had already given her out of his royal bounty. Then she left and returned to her own land with her attendants.
