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^a Lit told her all her wordsanswered all her questions; nothing was hidden from the king which he did not^b Lit tell herexplain 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^c Or his burnt offering which he offeredhis 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^d Lit wordsreports, 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.	1 Ch2 9:1 Mat 12:42 Luk 11:31 Ch2 9:1 Mat 12:42 Luk 11:31 Gen 10:7 Gen 10:28 Psa 72:10 Psa 72:15 Jdg 14:12-14 Psa 49:4 2 Ki1 10:10 8 Pro 8:34 9 Ki1 5:7 Ch1 17:22 Ch2 2:11 Sa2 8:15 Sa2 23:3 Psa 72:2 10 Ki1 10:2
