2 Chronicles 9:1-10

11Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with difficult questions. She had a very large retinue, with camels carrying spices and a large amount of gold and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was on her heart. 2Solomon 2answered all her questions; nothing was hidden from Solomon which he did not 3explain to her. 3When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house which he had built, 4the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers and their attire, his cupbearers and their attire, and 4his stairway by which he went up to the house of the Lord, she was breathless. 5Then she said to the king, “It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom. 6Nevertheless I did not believe their reports until I came and my eyes had seen it. And behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me. You surpass the report that I heard. 7How 5blessed are your men, how 6blessed are these your servants who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom. 8Blessed be the Lord your God who delighted in you, 7setting you on His throne as king for the Lord your God; 8because your God loved Israel establishing them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.” 9Then she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold and a very great amount of spices and precious stones; there had never been spice like that which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

10The servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon 9who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees and precious stones.
