H4436
When the queen
H7614
of Sheba
H8085
heard
H8088
of the fame
H8010
of Solomon
H8034
concerning the name
H3068
of Yahweh,
H935
she came
H5254
to prove
H2420
him with hard questions.
2
H935
She came
H3389
to Jerusalem
H3966
with a very
H3515
great
H2428
train,
H1581
with camels
H5375
that bore
H1314
spices,
H3966
and very
H7227
much
H2091
gold,
H3368
and precious
H68
stones;
H935
and when she had come
H8010
to Solomon,
H1696
she talked
H3824
with him of all that was in her heart.
3
H8010
Solomon
H5046
told
H1697
her all her questions:
H1697
there was not anything
H5956
hidden
H4428
from the king
H5046
which he didn't tell her.
4
H4436
When the queen
H7614
of Sheba
H7200
had seen
H2451
all the wisdom
H8010
of Solomon,
H1004
and the house
H1129
that he had built,
5
H3978
and the food
H7979
of his table,
H4186
and the sitting
H5650
of his servants,
H4612
and the attendance
H8334
of his ministers,
H4403
and their clothing,
H8248
and his cup bearers,
H5930
and his ascent
H5927
by which he went up
H1004
to the house
H3068
of Yahweh;
H7307
there was no more spirit in her.
6
H559
She said
H4428
to the king,
H571
"It was a true
H1697
report
H8085
that I heard
H776
in my own land
H1697
of your acts,
H2451
and of your wisdom.
7
H539
However I didn't believe
H1697
the words,
H935
until I came,
H5869
and my eyes
H7200
had seen
H2677
it. Behold, the half
H5046
was not told
H2451
me! Your wisdom
H2896
and prosperity
H3254
exceed
H8052
the fame
H8085
which I heard.
8
H835
Happy
H582
are your men,
H835
happy
H5650
are these your servants,
H5975
who stand
H8548
continually
H6440
before
H8085
you, who hear
H2451
your wisdom.
9
H1288
Blessed
H3068
is Yahweh
H430
your God,
H2654
who delighted
H5414
in you, to set
H3678
you on the throne
H3478
of Israel.
H3068
Because Yahweh
H160
loved
H3478
Israel
H5769
forever,
H7760
therefore made
H4428
he you king,
H6213
to do
H4941
justice
H6666
and righteousness."
10
H5414
She gave
H4428
the king
H3967
one hundred
H6242
twenty
H3603
talents
H2091
of gold,
H1314
and of spices
H3966
very
H7235
great store,
H3368
and precious
H68
stones.
H935
There came
H1931
no more such
H7230
abundance
H1314
of spices
H4436
as these which the queen
H7614
of Sheba
H5414
gave
H4428
to king
H8010
Solomon.
11
H590
The navy
H2438
also of Hiram,
H5375
that brought
H2091
gold
H211
from Ophir,
H935
brought in
H211
from Ophir
H3966
great
H7235
plenty
H484
of almug
H6086
trees
H3368
and precious
H68
stones.
12
H4428
The king
H6213
made
H484
of the almug
H6086
trees
H4552
pillars
H1004
for the house
H3068
of Yahweh,
H4428
and for the king's
H1004
house,
H3658
harps
H5035
also and stringed instruments
H7891
for the singers:
H935
there came
H484
no such almug
H6086
trees,
H7200
nor were seen,
H3117
to this day.
13
H4428
King
H8010
Solomon
H5414
gave
H4436
to the queen
H7614
of Sheba
H2656
all her desire,
H7592
whatever she asked,
H8010
besides that which Solomon
H5414
gave
H4428
her of his royal
H3027
bounty.
H6437
So she turned,
H3212
and went
H776
to her own land,
H5650
she and her servants.
14
H4948
Now the weight
H2091
of gold
H935
that came
H8010
to Solomon
H259
in one
H8141
year
H8337
was six
H3967
hundred
H8346
sixty -
H8337
six
H3603
talents
H2091
of gold,
15
H582
besides that which the traders
H4536
brought, and the traffic
H7402
of the merchants,
H4428
and of all the kings
H6153
of the mixed
H6346
people, and of the governors
H776
of the country.
16
H4428
King
H8010
Solomon
H6213
made
H3967
two hundred
H6793
bucklers
H7820
of beaten
H2091
gold;
H8337
six
H3967
hundred
H2091
shekels of gold
H5927
went
H259
to one
H6793
buckler.
17
H7969
he made three
H3967
hundred
H4043
shields
H7820
of beaten
H2091
gold;
H7969
three
H4488
minas
H2091
of gold
H5927
went
H259
to one
H4043
shield:
H4428
and the king
H5414
put
H1004
them in the house
H3293
of the forest
H3844
of Lebanon.
18
H4428
Moreover the king
H6213
made
H1419
a great
H3678
throne
H8127
of ivory,
H6823
and overlaid
H6338
it with the finest
H2091
gold.
19
H8337
There were six
H4609
steps
H3678
to the throne,
H7218
and the top
H3678
of the throne
H5696
was round
H310
behind;
H3027
and there were stays
H4725
on either side by the place
H7675
of the seat,
H8147
and two
H738
lions
H5975
standing
H681
beside
H3027
the stays.
20
H8147
Twelve
H738
lions
H5975
stood
H8337
there on the one side and on the other on the six
H4609
steps:
H3651
there was nothing like
H6213
it made
H4467
in any kingdom.
21
H4428
All king
H8010
Solomon's
H4945
drinking
H3627
vessels
H2091
were of gold,
H3627
and all the vessels
H1004
of the house
H3293
of the forest
H3844
of Lebanon
H5462
were of pure
H2091
gold:
H3701
none were of silver;
H3972
it was nothing
H2803
accounted
H3117
of in the days
H8010
of Solomon.
22
H4428
For the king
H3220
had at sea
H590
a navy
H8659
of Tarshish
H590
with the navy
H2438
of Hiram:
H259
once
H7969
every three
H8141
years
H935
came
H590
the navy
H8659
of Tarshish,
H5375
bringing
H2091
gold,
H3701
and silver,
H8143
ivory,
H6971
and apes,
H8500
and peacocks.
23
H4428
So king
H8010
Solomon
H1431
exceeded
H4428
all the kings
H776
of the earth
H6239
in riches
H2451
and in wisdom.
24
H776
All the earth
H1245
sought
H8010
the presence of Solomon,
H6440
to
H8085
hear
H2451
his wisdom,
H430
which God
H5414
had put
H3820
in his heart.
25
H935
They brought
H376
every man
H4503
his tribute,
H3627
vessels
H3701
of silver,
H3627
and vessels
H2091
of gold,
H8008
and clothing,
H5402
and armor,
H1314
and spices,
H5483
horses,
H6505
and mules,
H1697
a rate
H8141
year
H8141
by year.
26
H8010
Solomon
H622
gathered together
H7393
chariots
H6571
and horsemen:
H505
and he had a thousand
H702
and four
H3967
hundred
H7393
chariots,
H8147
and twelve
H505
thousand
H6571
horsemen,
H5148
that he bestowed
H7393
in the chariot
H5892
cities,
H4428
and with the king
H3389
at Jerusalem.
27
H4428
The king
H5414
made
H3701
silver
H3389
to be in Jerusalem
H68
as stones,
H730
and cedars
H5414
made
H8256
he to be as the sycamore trees
H8219
that are in the lowland,
H7230
for abundance.
28
H5483
The horses
H8010
which Solomon
H4161
had were brought
H4714
out of Egypt;
H4428
and the king's
H5503
merchants
H3947
received
H4723
them in droves,
H4723
each drove
H4242
at a price.
29
H4818
A chariot
H5927
came up
H3318
and went out
H4714
of Egypt
H8337
for six
H3967
hundred
H3701
shekels of silver,
H5483
and a horse
H3967
for one hundred
H2572
fifty;
H4428
and so for all the kings
H2850
of the Hittites,
H4428
and for the kings
H758
of Syria,
H3318
they brought them out
H3027
by their means.
