And when the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} heard{H8085}{(H8802)} of the fame{H8088} of Solomon{H8010} concerning the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068}, she came{H935}{(H8799)} to prove{H5254}{(H8763)} him with hard questions{H2420}.

And she came{H935}{(H8799)} to Jerusalem{H3389} with a very{H3966} great{H3515} train{H2428}, with camels{H1581} that bare{H5375}{(H8802)} spices{H1314}, and very{H3966} much{H7227} gold{H2091}, and precious{H3368} stones{H68}: and when she was come{H935}{(H8799)} to Solomon{H8010}, she communed{H1696}{(H8762)} with him of all that was in her heart{H3824}.

And Solomon{H8010} told{H5046}{(H8686)} her all her questions{H1697}: there was not any thing{H1697} hid{H5956}{(H8737)} from the king{H4428}, which he told{H5046}{(H8689)} her not.

And when the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} had seen{H7200}{(H8799)} all Solomon's{H8010} wisdom{H2451}, and the house{H1004} that he had built{H1129}{(H8804)},

And the meat{H3978} of his table{H7979}, and the sitting{H4186} of his servants{H5650}, and the attendance{H4612} of his ministers{H8334}{(H8764)}, and their apparel{H4403}, and his cupbearers{H8248}{(H8688)}, and his ascent{H5930} by which he went up{H5927}{(H8799)} unto the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}; there was no more spirit{H7307} in her.

And she said{H559}{(H8799)} to the king{H4428}, It was a true{H571} report{H1697} that I heard{H8085}{(H8804)} in mine own land{H776} of thy acts{H1697} and of thy wisdom{H2451}.

Howbeit I believed{H539}{(H8689)} not the words{H1697}, until I came{H935}{(H8804)}, and mine eyes{H5869} had seen{H7200}{(H8799)} it: and, behold, the half{H2677} was not told{H5046}{(H8717)} me: thy wisdom{H2451} and prosperity{H2896} exceedeth{H3254}{(H8689)} the fame{H8052} which I heard{H8085}{(H8804)}.

Happy{H835} are thy men{H582}, happy{H835} are these thy servants{H5650}, which stand{H5975}{(H8802)} continually{H8548} before{H6440} thee, and that hear{H8085}{(H8802)} thy wisdom{H2451}.

Blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} be the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}, which delighted{H2654}{(H8804)} in thee, to set{H5414}{(H8800)} thee on the throne{H3678} of Israel{H3478}: because the LORD{H3068} loved{H160} Israel{H3478} for ever{H5769}, therefore made{H7760}{(H8799)} he thee king{H4428}, to do{H6213}{(H8800)} judgment{H4941} and justice{H6666}.

And she gave{H5414}{(H8799)} the king{H4428} an hundred{H3967} and twenty{H6242} talents{H3603} of gold{H2091}, and of spices{H1314} very{H3966} great store{H7235}{(H8687)}, and precious{H3368} stones{H68}: there came{H935}{(H8804)} no more such{H1931} abundance{H7230} of spices{H1314} as these which the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} gave{H5414}{(H8804)} to king{H4428} Solomon{H8010}.

And the navy{H590} also of Hiram{H2438}, that brought{H5375}{(H8804)} gold{H2091} from Ophir{H211}, brought in{H935}{(H8689)} from Ophir{H211} great{H3966} plenty{H7235}{(H8687)} of almug{H484} trees{H6086}, and precious{H3368} stones{H68}.

And the king{H4428} made{H6213}{(H8799)} of the almug{H484} trees{H6086} pillars{H4552} for the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, and for the king's{H4428} house{H1004}, harps{H3658} also and psalteries{H5035} for singers{H7891}{(H8802)}: there came{H935}{(H8804)} no such almug{H484} trees{H6086}, nor were seen{H7200}{(H8738)} unto this day{H3117}.

And king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} gave{H5414}{(H8804)} unto the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} all her desire{H2656}, whatsoever she asked{H7592}{(H8804)}, beside that which Solomon{H8010} gave{H5414}{(H8804)} her of his royal{H4428} bounty{H3027}. So she turned{H6437}{(H8799)} and went{H3212}{(H8799)} to her own country{H776}, she and her servants{H5650}.

Now the weight{H4948} of gold{H2091} that came{H935}{(H8804)} to Solomon{H8010} in one{H259} year{H8141} was six{H8337} hundred{H3967} threescore{H8346} and six{H8337} talents{H3603} of gold{H2091},

Beside that he had of the merchantmen{H582}{H8446}{(H8802)}, and of the traffick{H4536} of the spice merchants{H7402}{(H8802)}, and of all the kings{H4428} of Arabia{H6153}, and of the governors{H6346} of the country{H776}.

And king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} made{H6213}{(H8799)} two hundred{H3967} targets{H6793} of beaten{H7820}{(H8803)} gold{H2091}: six{H8337} hundred{H3967} shekels of gold{H2091} went{H5927}{(H8686)} to one{H259} target{H6793}.

And he made three{H7969} hundred{H3967} shields{H4043} of beaten{H7820}{(H8803)} gold{H2091}; three{H7969} pound{H4488} of gold{H2091} went{H5927}{(H8686)} to one{H259} shield{H4043}: and the king{H4428} put{H5414}{(H8799)} them in the house{H1004} of the forest{H3293} of Lebanon{H3844}.

Moreover the king{H4428} made{H6213}{(H8799)} a great{H1419} throne{H3678} of ivory{H8127}, and overlaid{H6823}{(H8762)} it with the best{H6338}{(H8716)} gold{H2091}.

The throne{H3678} had six{H8337} steps{H4609}, and the top{H7218} of the throne{H3678} was round{H5696} behind{H310}: and there were stays{H3027} on either side on the place{H4725} of the seat{H7675}{(H8800)}, and two{H8147} lions{H738} stood{H5975}{(H8802)} beside{H681} the stays{H3027}.

And twelve{H8147}{H6240} lions{H738} stood{H5975}{(H8802)} there on the one side and on the other upon the six{H8337} steps{H4609}: there was not the like{H3651} made{H6213}{(H8738)} 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}{(H8803)} gold{H2091}; none were of silver{H3701}: it was nothing{H3972} accounted{H2803}{(H8737)} of in the days{H3117} of Solomon{H8010}.

For the king{H4428} had at sea{H3220} a navy{H590} of Tharshish{H8659} with the navy{H590} of Hiram{H2438}: once{H259} in three{H7969} years{H8141} came{H935}{(H8799)} the navy{H590} of Tharshish{H8659}, bringing{H5375}{(H8802)} gold{H2091}, and silver{H3701}, ivory{H8143}, and apes{H6971}, and peacocks{H8500}.

So king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} exceeded{H1431}{(H8799)} all the kings{H4428} of the earth{H776} for riches{H6239} and for wisdom{H2451}.

And all the earth{H776} sought{H1245}{(H8764)} to{H6440} Solomon{H8010}, to hear{H8085}{(H8800)} his wisdom{H2451}, which God{H430} had put{H5414}{(H8804)} in his heart{H3820}.

And they brought{H935}{(H8688)} every man{H376} his present{H4503}, vessels{H3627} of silver{H3701}, and vessels{H3627} of gold{H2091}, and garments{H8008}, and armour{H5402}, and spices{H1314}, horses{H5483}, and mules{H6505}, a rate{H1697} year{H8141} by year{H8141}.

And Solomon{H8010} gathered together{H622}{(H8799)} chariots{H7393} and horsemen{H6571}: and he had a thousand{H505} and four{H702} hundred{H3967} chariots{H7393}, and twelve{H8147}{H6240} thousand{H505} horsemen{H6571}, whom he bestowed{H5148}{(H8686)} in the cities{H5892} for chariots{H7393}, and with the king{H4428} at Jerusalem{H3389}.

And the king{H4428} made{H5414}{(H8799)} silver{H3701} to be in Jerusalem{H3389} as stones{H68}, and cedars{H730} made{H5414}{(H8804)} he to be as the sycomore trees{H8256} that are in the vale{H8219}, for abundance{H7230}.

And Solomon{H8010} had horses{H5483} brought{H4161} out of Egypt{H4714}, and linen yarn{H4723}: the king's{H4428} merchants{H5503}{(H8802)} received{H3947}{(H8799)} the linen yarn{H4723} at a price{H4242}.

And a chariot{H4818} came up{H5927}{(H8799)} and went out{H3318}{(H8799)} of Egypt{H4714} for six{H8337} hundred{H3967} shekels of silver{H3701}, and an horse{H5483} for an 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}{(H8686)} by their means{H3027}.
