Leeser(i)
1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon in connection with the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with riddles.
2 And she came to Jerusalem with an exceedingly great train, with camels bearing spices, and gold in great abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she spoke with him of all that was on her heart.
3 And Solomon solved for her all her questions: nothing remained hidden from the king, which he did not tell her.
4 And when the queen of Sheba saw all Solomon’s wisdom, and the house that he had built,
5 And the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cup-bearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her.
6 And she said to the king, The truth only was the word that I heard in my own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
7 And I believed not in the words, until I came, and my eyes saw all: and, behold, the half hath not been told me; thou excellest in wisdom and prosperity the report which I have heard.
8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, who stand before thee continually, who hear thy wisdom.
9 Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath had delight in thee, to place thee on the throne of Israel; because the Lord loveth Israel for ever, therefore hath he made thee king, to do justice and righteousness.
