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 2story that I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom.

6But I did not believe their 3stories until I came and my own eyes saw it all. And behold, not even half of the greatness of your wisdom was reported to me. You have surpassed the report that I heard.

7How 4blessed are your men, how 5blessed are these servants of yours, who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom!

8Blessed be the Lord your God who delighted in you, 6setting you on His throne as king for the Lord your God; 7because your God loved Israel, establishing them forever, He made you king over them, to carry out justice and righteousness.”
