3 And Salomon tolde her euerythinge, and the kynge had nothinge in secrete, but he tolde it her.
4 But whan the Quene of riche Arabia sawe all the wy?dome of Salomon, and the house that he had buylded,
5 and the meates of his table, and the dwellinges of his seruauntes, & the offyces of his ministers, and their garmentes, and his butlers and the burntofferynges which he offred in the house of the LORDE, she wondred exceadingly, and coulde no longer refrayne,
6 but sayde vnto the kynge: It is true that I haue herde in my londe of thy behauoure and of thy wy?dome.
