1
Now when the queen
of Sheba
heard
about the fame
of Solomon
concerning the name
of the LORD,
she came
to test
him with difficult questions.
2
So she came
to Jerusalem
with a very
large
retinue,
with camels
carrying
spices
and very
much
gold
and precious
stones.
When she came
to Solomon,
she spoke
with him about all
that was in her heart.
3
Solomon
answered
all
her questions;
nothing
was hidden
from the king
which
he did not explain
to her.
4
When the queen
of Sheba
perceived
all
the wisdom
of Solomon,
the house
that he had built,
5
the food
of his table,
the seating
of his servants,
the attendance
of his waiters
and their attire,
his cupbearers,
and his stairway
by which
he went
up to the house
of the LORD,
there was no
more
spirit
in her.
6
Then she said
to the king,
"It was a true
report
which
I heard
in my own land
about
your words
and your wisdom.
7
"Nevertheless I did not believe
the report
s,
until
I came
and my eyes
had seen
it. And behold,
the half
was not told
me. You exceed
in wisdom
and prosperity
the report
which
I heard.
8
"How blessed
are your men,
how blessed
are these
your servants
who stand
before
you continually
and hear
your wisdom.
9
"Blessed
be the LORD
your God
who
delighted
in you to set
you on the throne
of
Israel
;
because the LORD
loved
Israel
forever,
therefore He made
you king,
to do
justice
and righteousness."
10
She
gave
the king
a hundred
and twenty
talents
of gold,
and a very
great
amount
of spices
and precious
stones.
Never
again
did such
abundance
of spices
come
in as that which
the queen
of Sheba
gave
King
Solomon.
11
Also
the ships
of Hiram,
which
brought
gold
from Ophir,
brought
in from Ophir
a very
great
number of almug
trees
and precious
stones.
12
The king
made
of the
almug
trees
supports
for the house
of the LORD
and for the king's
house,
also lyres
and harps
for the singers;
such
almug
trees
have not come
in again nor
have they been seen
to this
day.
13
King
Solomon
gave
to the queen
of Sheba
all
her desire
which
she requested,
besides
what
he
gave
her according to his royal
bounty.
Then she turned
and went
to her own land
together with her servants.
14
Now the weight
of gold
which
came
in to Solomon
in one
year
was 666
talents
of gold
,
15
besides
that from the traders
and the wares
of the merchants
and all
the kings
of the Arabs
and the governors
of the country.
16
King
Solomon
made
200
large
shields
of beaten
gold,
using
600
shekels of gold
on each
large
shield.
17
He made 300
shields
of beaten
gold,
using
three
minas
of gold
on each
shield,
and the king
put
them in the house
of the forest
of Lebanon.
18
Moreover, the king
made
a great
throne
of ivory
and overlaid
it with refined
gold.
19
There were six
steps
to the throne
and a round
top
to the throne
at its rear,
and arms
on each
side
of the seat,
and two
lions
standing
beside
the arms.
20
Twelve
lions
were standing
there
on the six
steps
on the one
side and on the other;
nothing
like
it was made
for any
other kingdom.
21
All
King
Solomon's
drinking
vessels
were of gold,
and all
the
vessels
of the house
of the forest
of Lebanon
were of pure
gold.
None
was of silver;
it was not considered
valuable
in the days
of Solomon.
22
For the king
had at sea
the ships
of Tarshish
with
the ships
of Hiram;
once
every three
years
the ships
of Tarshish
came
bringing
gold
and silver,
ivory
and apes
and peacocks.
23
So King
Solomon
became greater
than
all
the kings
of the earth
in riches
and in wisdom.
24
All
the earth
was seeking
the presence
of Solomon,
to hear
his wisdom
which
God
had put
in his heart.
25
They brought
every man
his gift,
articles
of silver
and gold,
garments,
weapons,
spices,
horses,
and mules,
so much
year
by
year
.
26
Now Solomon
gathered
chariots
and horsemen;
and he had
1,400
chariots
and 12,000
horsemen,
and he stationed
them in the chariot
cities
and with the king
in Jerusalem.
27
The king
made
silver
as common as stones
in Jerusalem,
and he
made
cedars
as plentiful
as sycamore trees
that are in the lowland.
28
Also Solomon's
import
of horses
was from Egypt
and Kue,
and the king's
merchants
procured
them from Kue
for a price.
29
A chariot
was imported
from Egypt
for 600
shekels of silver,
and a horse
for 150;
and by the same means
they exported
them to all
the kings
of the Hittites
and to
the kings
of the Arameans.
