1 Kings 10:1-9
11Now when the 2queenH4436 of 3ShebaH7614 heardH8085 about the fameH8088 of SolomonH8010 in relation to the nameH8034 of the LordH3068, she cameH935 4to testH5254 him with riddlesH2420.
2So she cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 with a veryH3966 largeH3515 entourageH2428, with camelsH1581 5carryingH5375 balsamH1314 oilH1314 and a veryH3966 largeH7227 quantity of goldH2091 and preciousH3368 stonesH68. When she cameH935 to SolomonH8010, she spokeH1696 to him about everythingH3605 that was in her heartH3824.
3And SolomonH8010 6answeredH5046 allH3605 her questionsH1697; nothingH3808H1697 was concealedH5956 from the kingH4428 whichH834 he did not explainH5046 to her.
4When the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 sawH7200 allH3605 the wisdomH2451 of SolomonH8010, and the houseH1004 that he had builtH1129,
5and the foodH3978 of his tableH7979, the seatingH4186 of his servantsH5650, the serviceH4612 of his waitersH8334 and their attireH4403, his cupbearersH4945, and his burntH5930 offeringsH5930 whichH834 he offeredH5927 at the houseH1004 of the LordH3068, 7she was breathlessH3808H5750H7307.
6Then she saidH559 to the kingH4428, “It was a trueH571 8storyH1697 that I heardH8085 in my own landH776 aboutH5921 your wordsH1697 and your wisdomH2451.
7But I did not believeH539 the 9storiesH1697 untilH5704H834 I cameH935 and my own eyesH5869 sawH7200 it all. And beholdH2009, the halfH2677 of it was not reportedH5046 to me. You have exceededH3254 in wisdomH2451 and prosperityH2896 the reportH8052 whichH834 I heardH8085.
810BlessedH835 are your menH376, and blessedH835 are theseH428 servantsH5650 of yours who standH5975 beforeH6440 you continuallyH8548 and hearH8085 your wisdomH2451!
911BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068 your GodH430 whoH834 delightedH2654 in you to putH5414 you on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478; 12because the LordH3068 lovesH157 IsraelH3478 foreverH5769, He madeH7760 you kingH4428, 13to doH6213 justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666.”
