¹ Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with difficult questions. She had a very large retinue, with camels carrying spices and a large amount of gold and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was on her heart. ² Solomon^a Lit told her all her wordsanswered all her questions; nothing was hidden from Solomon which he did not^b Lit tellexplain to her. ³ When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house which he had built, ⁴ the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers and their attire, his cupbearers and their attire, and^c Or his burnt offering which he offeredhis stairway by which he went up to the house of the LORD, she was breathless. ⁵ Then she said to the king, “It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom. ⁶ Nevertheless I did not believe their reports until I came and my eyes had seen it. And behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me. You surpass the report that I heard. ⁷ How^d Or happyblessed are your men, how^e Or happyblessed are these your servants who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom. ⁸ Blessed be the LORD your God who delighted in you, setting you on His throne as king for the LORD your God; because your God loved Israel establishing them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.” ⁹ Then she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold and a very great amount of spices and precious stones; there had never been spice like that which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.	1 Ki1 10:1-13 Mat 12:42 Luk 11:31 8 Ch1 28:5 Ch1 29:23 Deu 7:8 Ch2 2:11
