And when the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} heard{H8085}{(H8804)} of the fame{H8088} of Solomon{H8010}, she came{H935}{(H8799)} to prove{H5254}{(H8763)} Solomon{H8010} with hard questions{H2420} at Jerusalem{H3389}, with a very{H3966} great{H3515} company{H2428}, and camels{H1581} that bare{H5375}{(H8802)} spices{H1314}, and gold{H2091} in abundance{H7230}, and precious{H3368} stones{H68}: and when she was come{H935}{(H8799)} to Solomon{H8010}, she communed{H1696}{(H8762)} with him of all that was in her heart{H3824}.

And Solomon{H8010} told{H5046}{(H8686)} her all her questions{H1697}: and there was nothing hid{H5956}{(H8738)} from Solomon{H8010} which he told{H5046}{(H8689)} her not.

And when the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} had seen{H7200}{(H8799)} the wisdom{H2451} of Solomon{H8010}, and the house{H1004} that he had built{H1129}{(H8804)},

And the meat{H3978} of his table{H7979}, and the sitting{H4186} of his servants{H5650}, and the attendance{H4612} of his ministers{H8334}{(H8764)}, and their apparel{H4403}; his cupbearers{H8248}{(H8688)} also, and their apparel{H4403}; and his ascent{H5944} by which he went up{H5927}{(H8799)} into the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}; there was no more spirit{H7307} in her.

And she said{H559}{(H8799)} to the king{H4428}, It was a true{H571} report{H1697} which I heard{H8085}{(H8804)} in mine own land{H776} of thine acts{H1697}, and of thy wisdom{H2451}:

Howbeit I believed{H539}{(H8689)} not their words{H1697}, until I came{H935}{(H8804)}, and mine eyes{H5869} had seen{H7200}{(H8799)} it: and, behold, the one half{H2677} of the greatness{H4768} of thy wisdom{H2451} was not told{H5046}{(H8717)} me: for thou exceedest{H3254}{(H8804)} the fame{H8052} that I heard{H8085}{(H8804)}.

Happy{H835} are thy men{H582}, and happy{H835} are these thy servants{H5650}, which stand{H5975}{(H8802)} continually{H8548} before{H6440} thee, and hear{H8085}{(H8802)} thy wisdom{H2451}.

Blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} be the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}, which delighted{H2654}{(H8804)} in thee to set{H5414}{(H8800)} thee on his throne{H3678}, to be king{H4428} for the LORD{H3068} thy God{H430}: because thy God{H430} loved{H160} Israel{H3478}, to establish{H5975}{(H8687)} them for ever{H5769}, therefore made{H5414}{(H8799)} he thee king{H4428} over them, to do{H6213}{(H8800)} judgment{H4941} and justice{H6666}.

And she gave{H5414}{(H8799)} the king{H4428} an hundred{H3967} and twenty{H6242} talents{H3603} of gold{H2091}, and of spices{H1314} great{H3966} abundance{H7230}, and precious{H3368} stones{H68}: neither was there any such spice{H1314} as the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} gave{H5414}{(H8804)} king{H4428} Solomon{H8010}.

And the servants{H5650} also of Huram{H2361}, and the servants{H5650} of Solomon{H8010}, which brought{H935}{(H8689)} gold{H2091} from Ophir{H211}, brought{H935}{(H8689)} algum{H418} trees{H6086} and precious{H3368} stones{H68}.

And the king{H4428} made{H6213}{(H8799)} of the algum{H418} trees{H6086} terraces{H4546} to the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, and to the king's{H4428} palace{H1004}, and harps{H3658} and psalteries{H5035} for singers{H7891}{(H8802)}: and there were none such{H1992} seen{H7200}{(H8738)} before{H6440} in the land{H776} of Judah{H3063}.

And king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} gave{H5414}{(H8804)} to the queen{H4436} of Sheba{H7614} all her desire{H2656}, whatsoever she asked{H7592}{(H8804)}, beside that which she had brought{H935}{(H8689)} unto the king{H4428}. So she turned{H2015}{(H8799)}, and went away{H3212}{(H8799)} to her own land{H776}, she and her servants{H5650}.

Now the weight{H4948} of gold{H2091} that came{H935}{(H8804)} to Solomon{H8010} in one{H259} year{H8141} was six{H8337} hundred{H3967} and threescore{H8346} and six{H8337} talents{H3603} of gold{H2091};

Beside that which chapmen{H582}{H8446}{(H8802)} and merchants{H5503}{(H8802)} brought{H935}{(H8688)}. And all the kings{H4428} of Arabia{H6152} and governors{H6346} of the country{H776} brought{H935}{(H8688)} gold{H2091} and silver{H3701} to Solomon{H8010}.

And king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} made{H6213}{(H8799)} two hundred{H3967} targets{H6793} of beaten{H7820}{(H8803)} gold{H2091}: six{H8337} hundred{H3967} shekels of beaten{H7820}{(H8803)} gold{H2091} went{H5927}{(H8686)} to one{H259} target{H6793}.

And three{H7969} hundred{H3967} shields{H4043} made he of beaten{H7820}{(H8803)} gold{H2091}: three{H7969} hundred{H3967} shekels of gold{H2091} went{H5927}{(H8686)} to one{H259} shield{H4043}. And the king{H4428} put{H5414}{(H8799)} them in the house{H1004} of the forest{H3293} of Lebanon{H3844}.

Moreover the king{H4428} made{H6213}{(H8799)} a great{H1419} throne{H3678} of ivory{H8127}, and overlaid{H6823}{(H8762)} it with pure{H2889} gold{H2091}.

And there were six{H8337} steps{H4609} to the throne{H3678}, with a footstool{H3534} of gold{H2091}, which were fastened{H270}{(H8716)} to the throne{H3678}, and stays{H3027} on each side of the sitting{H3427}{(H8800)} place{H4725}, and two{H8147} lions{H738} standing{H5975}{(H8802)} by{H681} the stays{H3027}:

And twelve{H8147}{H6240} lions{H738} stood{H5975}{(H8802)} there on the one side and on the other upon the six{H8337} steps{H4609}. There was not the like made{H6213}{(H8738)} in any kingdom{H4467}.

And all the drinking{H4945} vessels{H3627} of king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} were of gold{H2091}, and all the vessels{H3627} of the house{H1004} of the forest{H3293} of Lebanon{H3844} were of pure{H5462}{(H8803)} gold{H2091}: none were of silver{H3701}; it was not any{H3972} thing accounted{H2803}{(H8737)} of in the days{H3117} of Solomon{H8010}.

For the king's{H4428} ships{H591} went{H1980}{(H8802)} to Tarshish{H8659} with the servants{H5650} of Huram{H2361}: every three{H7969} years{H8141} once{H259} came{H935}{(H8799)} the ships{H591} of Tarshish{H8659} bringing{H5375}{(H8802)} gold{H2091}, and silver{H3701}, ivory{H8143}, and apes{H6971}, and peacocks{H8500}.

And king{H4428} Solomon{H8010} passed{H1431}{(H8799)} all the kings{H4428} of the earth{H776} in riches{H6239} and wisdom{H2451}.

And all the kings{H4428} of the earth{H776} sought{H1245}{(H8764)} the presence{H6440} of Solomon{H8010}, to hear{H8085}{(H8800)} his wisdom{H2451}, that God{H430} had put{H5414}{(H8804)} in his heart{H3820}.

And they brought{H935}{(H8688)} every man{H376} his present{H4503}, vessels{H3627} of silver{H3701}, and vessels{H3627} of gold{H2091}, and raiment{H8008}, harness{H5402}, and spices{H1314}, horses{H5483}, and mules{H6505}, a rate{H1697} year{H8141} by year{H8141}.

And Solomon{H8010} had four{H702} thousand{H505} stalls{H723} for horses{H5483} and chariots{H4818}, and twelve{H8147}{H6240} thousand{H505} horsemen{H6571}; whom he bestowed{H3240}{(H8686)} in the chariot{H7393} cities{H5892}, and with the king{H4428} at Jerusalem{H3389}.

And he reigned{H4910}{(H8802)} over all the kings{H4428} from the river{H5104} even unto the land{H776} of the Philistines{H6430}, and to the border{H1366} of Egypt{H4714}.

And the king{H4428} made{H5414}{(H8799)} silver{H3701} in Jerusalem{H3389} as stones{H68}, and cedar trees{H730} made{H5414}{(H8804)} he as the sycomore trees{H8256} that are in the low plains{H8219} in abundance{H7230}.

And they brought{H3318}{(H8688)} unto Solomon{H8010} horses{H5483} out of Egypt{H4714}, and out of all lands{H776}.

Now the rest{H7605} of the acts{H1697} of Solomon{H8010}, first{H7223} and last{H314}, are they not written{H3789}{(H8803)} in the book{H1697} of Nathan{H5416} the prophet{H5030}, and in the prophecy{H5016} of Ahijah{H281} the Shilonite{H7888}, and in the visions{H2378} of Iddo{H3260} the seer{H2374} against Jeroboam{H3379} the son{H1121} of Nebat{H5028}?

And Solomon{H8010} reigned{H4427}{(H8799)} in Jerusalem{H3389} over all Israel{H3478} forty{H705} years{H8141}.

And Solomon{H8010} slept{H7901}{(H8799)} with his fathers{H1}, and he was buried{H6912}{(H8799)} in the city{H5892} of David{H1732} his father{H1}: and Rehoboam{H7346} his son{H1121} reigned{H4427}{(H8799)} in his stead.
