1 Kings 10:2-10

2So she came to Jerusalem with a very large entourage, with camels 1carrying balsam oil and a very large quantity of gold and precious stones. When she came to Solomon, she spoke to him about everything that was in her heart. 3And Solomon 2answered all her questions; nothing was concealed from the king which he did not explain to her. 4When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built, 5and the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their attire, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings which he offered at the house of the Lord, 3she was breathless. 6Then she said to the king, “It was a true 4story that I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom. 7But I did not believe the 5stories until I came and my own eyes saw it all. And behold, the half of it was not reported to me. You have exceeded in wisdom and prosperity the report which I heard. 86Blessed are your men, and blessed are these servants of yours who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom! 97Blessed be the Lord your God who delighted in you to put you on the throne of Israel; 8because the Lord loves Israel forever, He made you king, 9to do justice and righteousness.” 10Then 10she gave the king 11120 talents of gold, and a very large amount of balsam oil and precious stones. Never again did such a large quantity of balsam oil come in as that which the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.
