1 Kings 10:2-10

2She arrived in Jerusalem with a great display of pomp, bringing with her camels carrying spices, a very large quantity of gold, and precious gems. She visited Solomon and discussed with him everything that was on her mind.

3Solomon answered all her questions; there was no question too complex for the king.

4When the queen of Sheba saw for herself Solomon’s extensive wisdom, the palace he had built,

5the food in his banquet hall, his servants and attendants, their robes, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings which he presented in the Lord’s temple, she was amazed.

6She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your wise sayings and insight was true!

7I did not believe these things until I came and saw them with my own eyes. Indeed, I didn’t hear even half the story! Your wisdom and wealth surpass what was reported to me.

8Your attendants, who stand before you at all times and hear your wise sayings, are truly happy!

9May the Lord your God be praised because he favored you by placing you on the throne of Israel! Because of the Lord’s eternal love for Israel, he made you king so you could make just and right decisions.”

10She gave the king 120 talents of gold, a very large quantity of spices, and precious gems. The quantity of spices the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon has never been matched.
