1 Kings 10:1-13

CLV(i) 1 And the queen of Sheba is hearing of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Yahweh, and comes to try him with enigmas, 2 and she comes to Jerusalem, with a very great company, camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stone, and she comes unto Solomon, and speaks unto him all that has been with her heart. 3 And Solomon declares to her all her matters--there has not been a thing hid from the king that he has not declared to her. 4 And the queen of Sheba sees all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he built, 5 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his butlers, and his burnt-offering that he causes to ascend in the house of Yahweh, and there has not been in her any more spirit. 6 And she said unto the king, `True has been the word that I heard in my land, concerning your matters and your wisdom;" 7 and I gave no credence to the words till that I have come, and my eyes see, and lo, it was not declared to me--the half; you have added wisdom and goodness unto the report that I heard. 8 O the happiness of your men, O the happiness of your servants--these--who are standing before you continually, who are hearing your wisdom!" 9 Yahweh your Elohim is blessed who delighted in you, to put you on the throne of Israel; in Yahweh's loving Israel to the eon He does set you for king, to do judgment and righteousness. 10 And she gives to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices very many, and precious stone; there came not like that spice any more for abundance that the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. 11 And also, the navy of Hiram that bore gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir almug-trees very many, and precious stone;" 12 and the king makes the almug-trees a support for the house of Yahweh, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; there have not come such almug-trees, nor have there been seen [such] unto this day. 13 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which he gave to her as a memorial of king Solomon, and she turns and goes to her land, she and her servants.
