Context of 2 Chronicles 9:4
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, 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 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.
