2 Chronicles 9:3-8

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 1his 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 2blessed are your men, how 3blessed are these your servants who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom.

8Blessed be the Lord your God who delighted in you, 4setting you on His throne as king for the Lord your God; 5because your God loved Israel establishing them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”
