1 # And when the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> heard <08085> (8802) of the fame <08088> of Solomon <08010> concerning the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>, she came <0935> (8799) to prove <05254> (8763) him with hard questions <02420>.
2 And she came <0935> (8799) to Jerusalem <03389> with a very <03966> great <03515> train <02428>, with camels <01581> that bare <05375> (8802) spices <01314>, and very <03966> much <07227> gold <02091>, 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>.
3 And Solomon <08010> told <05046> (8686) her all her questions <01697>: there was not any thing <01697> hid <05956> (8737) from the king <04428>, which he told <05046> (8689) her not.
4 And when the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> had seen <07200> (8799) all Solomon's <08010> wisdom <02451> , and the house <01004> that he had built <01129> (8804),
5 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>, and his cupbearers <08248> (8688), and his ascent <05930> by which he went up <05927> (8799) unto the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>; there was no more spirit <07307> in her.
6 And she said <0559> (8799) to the king <04428>, It was a true <0571> report <01697> that I heard <08085> (8804) in mine own land <0776> of thy acts <01697> and of thy wisdom <02451>.
7 Howbeit I believed <0539> (8689) not the words <01697>, until I came <0935> (8804), and mine eyes <05869> had seen <07200> (8799) it: and, behold, the half <02677> was not told <05046> (8717) me: thy wisdom <02451> and prosperity <02896> exceedeth <03254> (8689) the fame <08052> which I heard <08085> (8804).
8 Happy <0835> are thy men <0582>, happy <0835> are these thy servants <05650>, which stand <05975> (8802) continually <08548> before <06440> thee, and that hear <08085> (8802) thy wisdom <02451>.
9 Blessed <01288> (8803) be the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>, which delighted <02654> (8804) in thee, to set <05414> (8800) thee on the throne <03678> of Israel <03478>: because the LORD <03068> loved <0160> Israel <03478> for ever <05769>, therefore made <07760> (8799) he thee king <04428>, to do <06213> (8800) judgment <04941> and justice <06666>.
10 And she gave <05414> (8799) the king <04428> an hundred <03967> and twenty <06242> talents <03603> of gold <02091>, and of spices <01314> very <03966> great store <07235> (8687), and precious <03368> stones <068> : there came <0935> (8804) no more such <01931> abundance <07230> of spices <01314> as these which the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> gave <05414> (8804) to king <04428> Solomon <08010>.
11 And the navy <0590> also of Hiram <02438>, that brought <05375> (8804) gold <02091> from Ophir <0211> , brought in <0935> (8689) from Ophir <0211> great <03966> plenty <07235> (8687) of almug <0484> trees <06086>, and precious <03368> stones <068>.
12 And the king <04428> made <06213> (8799) of the almug <0484> trees <06086> pillars <04552> for the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>, and for the king's <04428> house <01004>, harps <03658> also and psalteries <05035> for singers <07891> (8802): there came <0935> (8804) no such almug <0484> trees <06086>, nor were seen <07200> (8738) unto this day <03117>.
13 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> gave <05414> (8804) unto the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> all her desire <02656>, whatsoever she asked <07592> (8804), beside that which Solomon <08010> gave <05414> (8804) her of his royal <04428> bounty <03027>. So she turned <06437> (8799) and went <03212> (8799) to her own country <0776>, she and her servants <05650>.
14 # Now the weight <04948> of gold <02091> that came <0935> (8804) to Solomon <08010> in one <0259> year <08141> was six <08337> hundred <03967> threescore <08346> and six <08337> talents <03603> of gold <02091>,
15 Beside that he had of the merchantmen <0582> <08446> (8802), and of the traffick <04536> of the spice merchants <07402> (8802), and of all the kings <04428> of Arabia <06153>, and of the governors <06346> of the country <0776>.
16 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 gold <02091> went <05927> (8686) to one <0259> target <06793>.
17 And he made three <07969> hundred <03967> shields <04043> of beaten <07820> (8803) gold <02091>; three <07969> pound <04488> 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>.
18 Moreover the king <04428> made <06213> (8799) a great <01419> throne <03678> of ivory <08127>, and overlaid <06823> (8762) it with the best <06338> (8716) gold <02091>.
19 The throne <03678> had six <08337> steps <04609>, and the top <07218> of the throne <03678> was round <05696> behind <0310>: and there were stays <03027> on either side on the place <04725> of the seat <07675> (8800), and two <08147> lions <0738> stood <05975> (8802) beside <0681> the stays <03027>.
20 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 <03651> made <06213> (8738) in any kingdom <04467>.
21 And all king <04428> Solomon's <08010> drinking <04945> vessels <03627> 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 nothing <03972> accounted <02803> (8737) of in the days <03117> of Solomon <08010>.
22 For the king <04428> had at sea <03220> a navy <0590> of Tharshish <08659> with the navy <0590> of Hiram <02438>: once <0259> in three <07969> years <08141> came <0935> (8799) the navy <0590> of Tharshish <08659> , bringing <05375> (8802) gold <02091>, and silver <03701>, ivory <08143>, and apes <06971>, and peacocks <08500> .
23 So king <04428> Solomon <08010> exceeded <01431> (8799) all the kings <04428> of the earth <0776> for riches <06239> and for wisdom <02451>.
24 And all the earth <0776> sought <01245> (8764) to <06440> Solomon <08010>, to hear <08085> (8800) his wisdom <02451>, which God <0430> had put <05414> (8804) in his heart <03820>.
25 And they brought <0935> (8688) every man <0376> his present <04503>, vessels <03627> of silver <03701> , and vessels <03627> of gold <02091>, and garments <08008>, and armour <05402>, and spices <01314>, horses <05483>, and mules <06505>, a rate <01697> year <08141> by year <08141>.
26 And Solomon <08010> gathered together <0622> (8799) chariots <07393> and horsemen <06571>: and he had a thousand <0505> and four <0702> hundred <03967> chariots <07393>, and twelve <08147> <06240> thousand <0505> horsemen <06571>, whom he bestowed <05148> (8686) in the cities <05892> for chariots <07393>, and with the king <04428> at Jerusalem <03389>.
27 And the king <04428> made <05414> (8799) silver <03701> to be in Jerusalem <03389> as stones <068> , and cedars <0730> made <05414> (8804) he to be as the sycomore trees <08256> that are in the vale <08219>, for abundance <07230>.
28 And Solomon <08010> had horses <05483> brought <04161> out of Egypt <04714>, and linen yarn <04723>: the king's <04428> merchants <05503> (8802) received <03947> (8799) the linen yarn <04723> at a price <04242>.
29 And a chariot <04818> came up <05927> (8799) and went out <03318> (8799) of Egypt <04714> for six <08337> hundred <03967> shekels of silver <03701>, and an horse <05483> for an hundred <03967> and fifty <02572>: and so for all the kings <04428> of the Hittites <02850>, and for the kings <04428> of Syria <0758>, did they bring them out <03318> (8686) by their means <03027>.
