2 Chronicles 9:1-12

1And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 heardH8085 of the fame of SolomonH8010, she cameH935 to prove SolomonH8010 with hard questions at JerusalemH3389, with a veryH3966 great train, and camelsH1581 that bare spicesH1314, and goldH2091 in abundanceH7230, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: and when she wasH1961 comeH935 to SolomonH8010, she communed with him of all that wasH1961 in her heartH3824. 2And SolomonH8010 toldH5046 her all her questions; and there was not anything hid from SolomonH8010 which he toldH5046 her not. 3And whenH834 the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 had seenH7200 the wisdomH2451 of SolomonH8010, and the houseH1004 that he had builtH1129, 4and the foodH3978 of his tableH7979, and the sitting of his servantsH5650, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their apparel, and his ascent by which he wentH5927 up unto the houseH1004 of Jehovah; there wasH1961 no more spiritH7307 in her. 5And she saidH559 to the kingH4428, It was a true report that I heardH8085 in mine own landH776 of thine acts, and of thy wisdomH2451. 6Howbeit I believedH539 not their wordsH1697, until I cameH935, and mine eyesH5869 had seenH7200 it; and, behold, the halfH2677 of the greatness of thy wisdomH2451 was not toldH5046 me: thou exceedest the fame that I heardH8085. 7Happy are thy menH376, and happy are these thy servantsH5650, that standH5975 continuallyH8548 before thee, and hearH8085 thy wisdomH2451. 8BlessedH1288 beH1961 Jehovah thy GodH430, who delighted in thee, to setH5414 thee on his throneH3678, to beH1961 kingH4428 for Jehovah thy GodH430: because thy GodH430 loved IsraelH3478, to establish them for everH5769, therefore madeH6213 he thee kingH4428 over them, to do justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666.

9And she gaveH5414 the kingH4428 a hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and spicesH1314 in great abundanceH7230, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: neither wasH1961 there any such spiceH1314 as the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 gaveH5414 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010. 10And the servantsH5650 alsoH1571 of Huram, and the servantsH5650 of SolomonH8010, that broughtH935 goldH2091 from OphirH211, broughtH935 algum-trees and preciousH3368 stonesH68. 11And the kingH4428 madeH6213 of the algum-trees terraces for the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and for the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and harpsH3658 and psalteries for the singersH7891: and there were none such seenH7200 before in the landH776 of JudahH3063. 12And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 to the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 all her desireH2656, whatsoever she askedH7592, besides that which she had broughtH935 unto the kingH4428. So she turnedH2015, and wentH935 to her own landH776, she and her servantsH5650.
