2 Chronicles 9:1-12

CLV(i) 1 And the queen of Sheba has heard of the fame of Solomon, and comes in to try Solomon with acute sayings, to Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels bearing spices and gold in abundance, and precious stone; and she comes in unto Solomon, and speaks with him all that has been with her heart, 2 and Solomon declares to her all her matters, and there has not been hid a thing from Solomon that he has not declared to her. 3 And the queen of Sheba sees the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he has built, 4 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his stewards, and their clothing, an his burnt-offering that he offered up in the house of Yahweh, and there has not been any more spirit in her. 5 And she said unto the king, `True [is] the word that I heard in my land concerning your matters and concerning your wisdom, 6 and I have given no credence to their words, till that I have come, and mine eyes see, and lo, there has not been declared to me the half of the abundance of your wisdom--you have added unto the report that I heard. 7 `O the happiness of your men, and the happiness of your servants--these--who are standing before you continually, and hearing your wisdom. 8 Let Yahweh your Elohim be blessed who has delighted in you, to put you on His throne for king for Yahweh your Elohim; in the love of your Elohim to Israel, to establish it to the eon, He has put you over them for king, to do judgment and righteousness.. 9 And she gives to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stone; and there has not been any such spice as the queen of Sheba has given to king Solomon. 10 And also, servants of Huram, and servants of Solomon, who brought in gold from Ophir, have brought in algum-trees and precious stone. 11 And the king makes the algum-trees staircases for the house of Yahweh, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; and there have been none seen like these before in the land of Judah. 12 And king Solomon has given to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which she had brought unto the king, and she turns and goes to her land, she and her servants.
