So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.

Because your God loved Israel to establish them forever, He made you king over them to execute justice and righteousness. 9 She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, a great abundance of spices, and precious stones; never again were there such spices as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon. 10 The servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon who brought gold from Ophir also brought algum wood and precious stones. 11 The king made from the algum wood terraces for the house of the LORD and for the king's palace, and harps and lyres for singers; such things had never been seen before in the land of Judah. 12 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired, whatever she asked, besides what she had brought to the king.
