Thou hast surpassed the report which I heard. ⁷ Happy are these men of thine! happy these thy servants who wait upon thee continually and hear thy wisdom! ⁸ blessed be the Lord thy God who delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be a king for the Lord thy God. Because the Lord thy God loved Israel, therefore, that he might establish them forever, he made thee king over them to execute judgment and justice. ⁹ Then she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones.
