1 # And when the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> heard <08085> (8804) of the fame <08088> of Solomon <08010> , she came <0935> (8799) to prove <05254> (8763) Solomon <08010> with hard questions <02420> at Jerusalem <03389> , with a very <03966> great <03515> company <02428>, and camels <01581> that bare <05375> (8802) spices <01314> , and gold <02091> in abundance <07230>, and precious <03368> stones <068>: and when she was come <0935> (8799) to Solomon <08010>, she communed <01696> (8762) with him of all that was in her heart <03824>.
2 And Solomon <08010> told <05046> (8686) her all her questions <01697>: and there was nothing hid <05956> (8738) from Solomon <08010> which he told <05046> (8689) her not.
3 And when the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> had seen <07200> (8799) the wisdom <02451> of Solomon <08010> , and the house <01004> that he had built <01129> (8804),
4 And the meat <03978> of his table <07979>, and the sitting <04186> of his servants <05650>, and the attendance <04612> of his ministers <08334> (8764), and their apparel <04403>; his cupbearers <08248> (8688) also, and their apparel <04403> ; and his ascent <05944> by which he went up <05927> (8799) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>; there was no more spirit <07307> in her.
5 And she said <0559> (8799) to the king <04428>, It was a true <0571> report <01697> which I heard <08085> (8804) in mine own land <0776> of thine acts <01697>, and of thy wisdom <02451>:
6 Howbeit I believed <0539> (8689) not their words <01697>, until I came <0935> (8804), and mine eyes <05869> had seen <07200> (8799) it: and, behold, the one half <02677> of the greatness <04768> of thy wisdom <02451> was not told <05046> (8717) me: for thou exceedest <03254> (8804) the fame <08052> that I heard <08085> (8804).
7 Happy <0835> are thy men <0582>, and happy <0835> are these thy servants <05650>, which stand <05975> (8802) continually <08548> before <06440> thee, and hear <08085> (8802) thy wisdom <02451>.
8 Blessed <01288> (8803) be the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, which delighted <02654> (8804) in thee to set <05414> (8800) thee on his throne <03678>, to be king <04428> for the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>: because thy God <0430> loved <0160> Israel <03478>, to establish <05975> (8687) them for ever <05769>, therefore made <05414> (8799) he thee king <04428> over them, to do <06213> (8800) judgment <04941> and justice <06666>.
9 And she gave <05414> (8799) the king <04428> an hundred <03967> and twenty <06242> talents <03603> of gold <02091>, and of spices <01314> great <03966> abundance <07230>, and precious <03368> stones <068>: neither was there any such spice <01314> as the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> gave <05414> (8804) king <04428> Solomon <08010>.
10 And the servants <05650> also of Huram <02361>, and the servants <05650> of Solomon <08010>, which brought <0935> (8689) gold <02091> from Ophir <0211>, brought <0935> (8689) algum <0418> trees <06086> and precious <03368> stones <068>.
11 And the king <04428> made <06213> (8799) of the algum <0418> trees <06086> terraces <04546> to the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and to the king's <04428> palace <01004>, and harps <03658> and psalteries <05035> for singers <07891> (8802): and there were none such <01992> seen <07200> (8738) before <06440> in the land <0776> of Judah <03063>.
12 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> gave <05414> (8804) to the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> all her desire <02656>, whatsoever she asked <07592> (8804), beside that which she had brought <0935> (8689) unto the king <04428> . So she turned <02015> (8799), and went away <03212> (8799) to her own land <0776>, she and her servants <05650>.
13 # Now the weight <04948> of gold <02091> that came <0935> (8804) to Solomon <08010> in one <0259> year <08141> was six <08337> hundred <03967> and threescore <08346> and six <08337> talents <03603> of gold <02091> ;
14 Beside that which chapmen <0582> <08446> (8802) and merchants <05503> (8802) brought <0935> (8688). And all the kings <04428> of Arabia <06152> and governors <06346> of the country <0776> brought <0935> (8688) gold <02091> and silver <03701> to Solomon <08010>.
15 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> made <06213> (8799) two hundred <03967> targets <06793> of beaten <07820> (8803) gold <02091>: six <08337> hundred <03967> shekels of beaten <07820> (8803) gold <02091> went <05927> (8686) to one <0259> target <06793>.
16 And three <07969> hundred <03967> shields <04043> made he of beaten <07820> (8803) gold <02091> : three <07969> hundred <03967> shekels of gold <02091> went <05927> (8686) to one <0259> shield <04043> . And the king <04428> put <05414> (8799) them in the house <01004> of the forest <03293> of Lebanon <03844>.
17 Moreover the king <04428> made <06213> (8799) a great <01419> throne <03678> of ivory <08127>, and overlaid <06823> (8762) it with pure <02889> gold <02091>.
18 And there were six <08337> steps <04609> to the throne <03678>, with a footstool <03534> of gold <02091> , which were fastened <0270> (8716) to the throne <03678>, and stays <03027> on each side of the sitting <03427> (8800) place <04725>, and two <08147> lions <0738> standing <05975> (8802) by <0681> the stays <03027>:
19 And twelve <08147> <06240> lions <0738> stood <05975> (8802) there on the one side and on the other upon the six <08337> steps <04609>. There was not the like made <06213> (8738) in any kingdom <04467>.
20 And all the drinking <04945> vessels <03627> of king <04428> Solomon <08010> were of gold <02091>, and all the vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of the forest <03293> of Lebanon <03844> were of pure <05462> (8803) gold <02091>: none were of silver <03701>; it was not any <03972> thing accounted <02803> (8737) of in the days <03117> of Solomon <08010>.
21 For the king's <04428> ships <0591> went <01980> (8802) to Tarshish <08659> with the servants <05650> of Huram <02361>: every three <07969> years <08141> once <0259> came <0935> (8799) the ships <0591> of Tarshish <08659> bringing <05375> (8802) gold <02091>, and silver <03701>, ivory <08143>, and apes <06971>, and peacocks <08500>.
22 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> passed <01431> (8799) all the kings <04428> of the earth <0776> in riches <06239> and wisdom <02451>.
23 And all the kings <04428> of the earth <0776> sought <01245> (8764) the presence <06440> of Solomon <08010> , to hear <08085> (8800) his wisdom <02451>, that God <0430> had put <05414> (8804) in his heart <03820> .
24 And they brought <0935> (8688) every man <0376> his present <04503>, vessels <03627> of silver <03701> , and vessels <03627> of gold <02091>, and raiment <08008>, harness <05402>, and spices <01314>, horses <05483>, and mules <06505>, a rate <01697> year <08141> by year <08141>.
25 And Solomon <08010> had four <0702> thousand <0505> stalls <0723> for horses <05483> and chariots <04818> , and twelve <08147> <06240> thousand <0505> horsemen <06571>; whom he bestowed <03240> (8686) in the chariot <07393> cities <05892>, and with the king <04428> at Jerusalem <03389>.
26 And he reigned <04910> (8802) over all the kings <04428> from the river <05104> even unto the land <0776> of the Philistines <06430>, and to the border <01366> of Egypt <04714>.
27 And the king <04428> made <05414> (8799) silver <03701> in Jerusalem <03389> as stones <068>, and cedar trees <0730> made <05414> (8804) he as the sycomore trees <08256> that are in the low plains <08219> in abundance <07230> .
28 And they brought <03318> (8688) unto Solomon <08010> horses <05483> out of Egypt <04714>, and out of all lands <0776>.
29 Now the rest <07605> of the acts <01697> of Solomon <08010>, first <07223> and last <0314>, are they not written <03789> (8803) in the book <01697> of Nathan <05416> the prophet <05030>, and in the prophecy <05016> of Ahijah <0281> the Shilonite <07888>, and in the visions <02378> of Iddo <03260> the seer <02374> against Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Nebat <05028>?
30 And Solomon <08010> reigned <04427> (8799) in Jerusalem <03389> over all Israel <03478> forty <0705> years <08141>.
31 And Solomon <08010> slept <07901> (8799) with his fathers <01>, and he was buried <06912> (8799) in the city <05892> of David <01732> his father <01>: and Rehoboam <07346> his son <01121> reigned <04427> (8799) in his stead.
