2 Chronicles 9

1And the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 heardH8085 of the fame of SolomonH8010, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 to prove SolomonH8010 with enigmas; with a veryH3966 great train, and camelsH1581 that boreH5375 spicesH1314 and goldH2091 in great abundanceH7230, and preciousH3368 stonesH68; and she cameH935 to SolomonH8010, and spokeH1696 with him of all that wasH1961 in her heartH3824. 2And SolomonH8010 explained to her all she spoke of, and there was not a thingH1697 hiddenH5956 from SolomonH8010 that he did not explain to her. 3And whenH834 the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 sawH7200 the wisdomH2451 of SolomonH8010, and the houseH1004 that he had builtH1129, 4and the foodH3978 of his tableH7979, and the deportment of his servantsH5650, and the order of service of his attendants and their apparel, and his cupbearers and their apparel, and his ascent by which he wentH5927 up to 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 affairs and of thy wisdomH2451; 6but I gave no credit to their wordsH1697, until I cameH935 and mine eyesH5869 had seenH7200; and behold, the halfH2677 of the greatness of thy wisdomH2451 was not toldH5046 me: thou exceedest the reportH8052 that I heardH8085. 7Happy are thy menH376, and happy are these thy servantsH5650, who standH5975 continuallyH8548 before thee and hearH8085 thy wisdomH2451! 8BlessedH1288 beH1961 Jehovah thy 1GodH430, who delighted in thee, to setH5414 thee on his throneH3678, to beH1961 kingH4428 to Jehovah thy 2GodH430! Because thy 3GodH430 loved IsraelH3478, to establish them for everH5769, therefore did he makeH5414 thee kingH4428 over them, to do judgmentH4941 and justiceH4941. 9And she gaveH5414 the kingH4428 a hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and spicesH1314 in veryH3966 great abundanceH7230, and preciousH3368 stonesH68; neither wasH1961 there any such spiceH1314 as that which the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 gaveH5414 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010. 10(And the servantsH5650 alsoH1571 of Huram, and the servantsH5650 of SolomonH8010, who broughtH935 goldH2091 from OphirH211, broughtH935 sandal-wood and preciousH3368 stonesH68. 11And the kingH4428 madeH6213 of the sandal-wood stairs for the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and for the king's houseH1004, and harpsH3658 and lutes 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, whatever she askedH7592, besides what she had broughtH935 to the kingH4428. And she turnedH2015 and wentH935 to her own landH776, she and her servantsH5650. 13And the weightH4948 of goldH2091 that cameH935 to SolomonH8010 in oneH259 yearH8141 wasH1961 sixH8337 hundredH3967 and sixty-six talentsH3603 of goldH2091, 14besides [what] dealers and merchants broughtH935, and [what] all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152 and the governorsH6346 of the country broughtH935 of goldH2091 and silverH3701 to SolomonH8010. 15And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 twoH3967 hundredH3967 targets of beaten goldH2091, — he applied sixH8337 hundredH3967 [shekels] of beaten goldH2091 to oneH259 target; 16and threeH7969 hundredH3967 shieldsH4043 of beaten goldH2091, — he applied threeH7969 hundredH3967 [shekels] of goldH2091 to oneH259 shieldH4043; and the kingH4428 putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844. 17And the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127, and overlaidH6823 it with pureH2889 goldH2091; 18and the throneH3678 had sixH8337 stepsH4609, with a footstool of goldH2091 fastened to the throneH3678; and there were arms on each side at the placeH4725 of the seatH3678, and twoH8147 lionsH738 stoodH5975 beside the arms; 19and twelve lionsH738 stoodH5975 there on the oneH2088 side and on the other upon the sixH8337 stepsH4609: there was not the like madeH6213 in any kingdomH4467. 20And all kingH4428 Solomon's drinking vesselsH3627 were of goldH2091, and all the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844 were of precious goldH2091: silverH3701 was not of the least account in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. 21For the king's shipsH591 wentH1980 to TarshishH8659 with the servantsH5650 of HuramH2361: once in threeH7969 yearsH8141 cameH935 the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659, bringingH935 goldH2091 and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, and apes, and peacocks. 22And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 was greaterH1431 than all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in richesH6239 and wisdomH2451. 23And all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 soughtH1245 the presenceH6440 of SolomonH8010, to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451, which 4GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820. 24And they broughtH935 every manH376 his present, vesselsH3627 of silverH3701 and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and clothing, armour, and spicesH1314, horsesH5483 and mulesH6505, a rate yearH8141 by yearH8141. 25And SolomonH8010 had fourH702 thousandH505 stallsH723 for horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393, and twelve thousandH505 horsemenH6571; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389. 26And he ruledH4910 over all the kingsH4428 from the riverH5104 as far as the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and up to the borderH1366 of EgyptH4714. 27And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 in JerusalemH3389 as stonesH68, and cedarsH730 madeH5414 he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundanceH7230. 28And they broughtH3318 to SolomonH8010 horsesH5483 out of EgyptH4714, and out of all landsH776. 29And the restH7605 of the acts of SolomonH8010 firstH7223 and lastH314, are they not writtenH3789 in the wordsH1697 of NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and in the prophecyH5016 of AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888, and in the visions of Iddo the seerH2374 concerning JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028? 30And SolomonH8010 reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 over all IsraelH3478 fortyH705 yearsH8141. 31And SolomonH8010 slept with his fathersH1, and they buriedH6912 him in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1; and RehoboamH7346 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
