2 Chronicles 9:1-10

1And the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, and came to Jerusalem to prove Solomon with enigmas; with a very great train, and camels that bore spices and gold in great abundance, and precious stones; and she came to Solomon, and spoke with him of all that was in her heart.

2And Solomon explained to her all she spoke of, and there was not a thing hidden from Solomon that he did not explain to her.

3And when the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,

4and 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 their apparel, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Jehovah, there was no more spirit in her.

5And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine affairs and of thy wisdom;

6but I gave no credit to their words, until I came and mine eyes had seen; and behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: thou exceedest the report that I heard.

7Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee and hear thy wisdom!

8Blessed be Jehovah thy 1God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on his throne, to be king to Jehovah thy 2God! Because thy 3God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore did he make thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.

9And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones; neither was there any such spice as that which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

10(And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-wood and precious stones.
