¹ And the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon in connection with the name of Jehovah, and came to prove him with enigmas. ² And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices and gold in very great abundance, and precious stones; and she came to Solomon, and spoke to him of all that was in her heart. ³ And Solomon explained to her all she spoke of: there was not a thing hidden from the king that he did not explain to her. ⁴ And when the queen of Sheba saw all Solomon`s wisdom, and the house that he had built, <sup>5</sup> and the food of his table, and the deportment of his servants, and the order of service of his attendants, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Jehovah, there was no more spirit in her. <sup>6</sup> And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine affairs, and of thy wisdom; <sup>7</sup> but I gave no credit to the words, until I came and mine eyes had seen; and behold, the half was not told me: in wisdom and prosperity thou exceedest the report that I heard. <sup>8</sup> Happy are thy men! happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee, who hear thy wisdom! <sup>9</sup> Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel! Because Jehovah loves Israel for ever, therefore did he make thee king, to do judgment and justice. <sup>10</sup> And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as those which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. <sup>11</sup> (And the fleet also of Hiram, which carried gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir sandal-wood in very great abundance, and precious stones. <sup>12</sup> And the king made of the sandal-wood a balustrade for the house of Jehovah, and for the king`s house, and harps and lutes for the singers. There came no such sandal-wood, nor was there seen to this day.) ¹³ And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides what he gave her of the bounty of king Solomon.
