1 Kings 10:1-13

1And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 heardH8085 of the fameH8034 of SolomonH8010 concerning the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, she cameH935 to prove him with hard questionsH2420.

2And sheH834 cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 with a veryH3966 greatH3966 train, with camelsH1581 that bare spicesH1314, and veryH3966 muchH7227 goldH2091, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: and when sheH834 was comeH935 to SolomonH8010, sheH834 communed with him of allH3605 that was in herH3605 heartH3824.

3And SolomonH8010 toldH5046 herH3605 allH3605 herH3605 questionsH1697: there was notH3808 anyH3605 thingH1697 hid from the kingH4428 whichH834 he toldH5046 herH3605 notH3808.

4And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 had seenH7200 allH3605 the wisdomH2451 of SolomonH8010, and the houseH1004 that he had builtH1129,

5and the meat of his tableH7979, and the sitting of his servantsH5650, and the attendanceH4612 of his ministersH8334, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascentH5927 by whichH834 he wentH5927 upH5927 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; there was noH3808 moreH5750 spiritH7307 in herH1961.

6And sheH834 saidH559 to the kingH4428, It was a trueH571 reportH1697 that I heardH8085 in mine ownH1961 landH776 of thine actsH1697, and of thy wisdomH2451.

7Howbeit I believedH539 notH3808 the wordsH1697, untilH5704 I cameH935, and mine eyesH5869 had seenH7200 it: and, beholdH2009, the halfH2677 was notH3808 toldH5046 meH413: thy wisdomH2451 and prosperityH2896 exceedeth the fame whichH834 I heardH8085.

8HappyH835 are thy menH376, happyH835 are theseH428 thy servantsH5650, whichH428 standH5975 continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 thee, and that hearH8085 thy wisdomH2451.

9BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, whichH834 delighted in thee, to setH7760 thee on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478: becauseH5921 the LORDH3068 loved IsraelH3478 for everH5769, therefore madeH6213 he thee kingH4428, to doH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH4941.

10And sheH1931 gaveH5414 the kingH4428 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and of spicesH1314 veryH3966 greatH3966 store, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: there cameH935 noH3808 moreH5750 suchH834 abundanceH7230 of spicesH1314 as theseH1931 whichH834 the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 gaveH5414 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010.

11And the navy also of HiramH2438, that broughtH935 goldH2091 from OphirH211, broughtH935 in from OphirH211 greatH3966 plenty of almugH484 treesH6086 and preciousH3368 stonesH68.

12And the kingH4428 madeH6213 of the almugH484 treesH6086 pillars for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and for the king’sH4428 houseH1004, harpsH3658 also and psalteries for the singersH7891: there cameH935 noH3808 suchH2088 almugH484 treesH6086, norH3808 were seenH7200, unto this dayH3117.

13And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 to the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 allH3605 herH3605 desireH2656, whatsoeverH3605 sheH1931 askedH7592, besideH3027 that whichH834 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 herH3605 of his royalH4428 bountyH3027. SoH5414 sheH1931 turnedH6437, and went to herH3605 own landH776, sheH1931 and herH3605 servantsH5650.
