1And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 heardH8085 of the fameH8088 of SolomonH8010, sheH834 cameH935 to prove SolomonH8010 with hardH3515 questionsH2420 at JerusalemH3389, with a veryH3966 greatH3966 train, and camelsH1581 that bare spicesH1314, and goldH2091 in abundanceH7230, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: and when sheH834 was comeH935 to SolomonH8010, sheH834 communed with him of allH3605 that was in herH3605 heartH3824. 2And SolomonH8010 toldH5046 herH3605 allH3605 herH3605 questionsH1697: and there was notH3808 anyH3605 thingH1697 hid from SolomonH8010 whichH834 he toldH5046 herH3605 notH3808. 3And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 had seenH7200 the wisdomH2451 of SolomonH8010, and the houseH1004 that he had builtH1129, 4and the meat of his tableH7979, and the sitting of his servantsH5650; and the attendanceH4612 of his ministersH8334, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascentH5927 by whichH834 he wentH5927 upH5927 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; there was noH3808 moreH5750 spiritH7307 in herH1961. 5And sheH834 saidH559 to the kingH4428, It was a trueH571 reportH1697 that I heardH8085 in mine own landH776 of thine actsH1697, and of thy wisdomH2451. 6Howbeit I believedH539 notH3808 their wordsH1697, untilH5704 I cameH935, and mine eyesH5869 had seenH7200 it: and, beholdH2009, the halfH2677 of the greatnessH4768 of thy wisdomH2451 was notH3808 toldH5046 meH5046: thou exceedest the fame that I heardH8085. 7HappyH835 are thy menH376, and happyH835 are theseH428 thy servantsH5650, whichH428 standH5975 continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 thee, and hearH8085 thy wisdomH2451. 8BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, whichH834 delighted in thee, to setH5414 thee on his throneH3678, to be kingH4428 for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: becauseH5921 thy GodH430 loved IsraelH3478, to establishH5414 them for everH5769, therefore madeH6213 he thee kingH4428 over them, to doH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH4941. 9And sheH1931 gaveH5414 the kingH4428 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and spicesH1314 in greatH3966 abundanceH7230, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: neitherH3808 was there anyH1961 suchH834 spiceH1314 as the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 gaveH5414 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010. 10And the servantsH5650 also of Huram, and the servantsH5650 of SolomonH8010, whichH834 broughtH935 goldH2091 from OphirH211; broughtH935 algumH418 treesH6086 and preciousH3368 stonesH68. 11And the kingH4428 madeH6213 of the algumH418 treesH6086 terraces for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and for the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and harpsH3658 and psalteries for the singersH7891; and there were noneH3808 suchH3808 seenH7200 beforeH6440 in the landH776 of JudahH3063. 12And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 to the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 allH3605 herH3605 desireH2656, whatsoeverH3605 sheH1931 askedH7592, besideH413 that whichH834 sheH1931 had broughtH935 unto the kingH4428. SoH5414 sheH1931 turnedH2015, and wentH935 to herH3605 own landH776, sheH1931 and herH3605 servantsH5650. 13NowH1961 the weightH4948 of goldH2091 that cameH935 to SolomonH8010 in one yearH8141 was sixH8337 hundredH3967 and threescore and sixH8337 talentsH3603 of goldH2091; 14beside that which the chapmen and merchantsH5503 broughtH935: and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152 and the governorsH6346 of the countryH776 broughtH935 goldH2091 and silverH3701 to SolomonH8010. 15And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 twoH3967 hundredH3967 targets of beaten goldH2091: sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of beaten goldH2091 wentH5927 to one target. 16And he madeH5414 threeH7969 hundredH3967 shieldsH4043 of beaten goldH2091; threeH7969 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091 wentH5927 to one shieldH4043: and the kingH4428 putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844. 17Moreover the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127, and overlaidH6823 it with pureH2889 goldH2091. 18And there were sixH8337 stepsH4609 to the throneH3678, with a footstoolH3534 of goldH2091, whichH2088 were fastenedH270 to the throneH3678, and staysH3427 on eitherH2088 sideH2088 by the placeH4725 of the seatH3678, and twoH8147 lionsH738 standingH5975 besideH5921 the staysH3427. 19And twelveH6240 lionsH738 stoodH5975 there on the one sideH2088 and on the otherH2088 uponH5921 the sixH8337 stepsH4609: there was notH3808 the like madeH6213 in anyH3605 kingdomH4467. 20And allH3605 kingH4428 Solomon’sH8010 drinking vesselsH3627 were of goldH2091, and allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844 were of pureH5462 goldH2091: silverH3701 was nothingH369 accountedH2803 of in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. 21For the kingH4428 had shipsH591 that wentH1980 to TarshishH8659 with the servantsH5650 of HuramH2361: onceH259 everyH259 threeH7969 yearsH8141 cameH935 the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659, bringingH935 goldH2091, and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, and apesH6971, and peacocksH8500. 22SoH1431 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 exceeded allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in richesH6239 and wisdomH2451. 23And allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 soughtH1245 the presenceH6440 of SolomonH8010, to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451, whichH834 GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820. 24And they broughtH935 very manH376 his presentH4503, vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and raiment, armour, and spicesH1314, horsesH5483, and mulesH6505, a rate yearH8141 by yearH8141. 25And SolomonH8010 had fourH702 thousandH505 stallsH723 for horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393, and twelveH6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, which he bestowed in the chariotH4818 citiesH5892, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389. 26And he ruledH4910 over allH3605 the kingsH4428 from the RiverH5104 evenH5704 unto the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and to the borderH1366 of EgyptH4714. 27And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 to be in JerusalemH3389 as stonesH68, and cedarsH730 madeH5414 he to be as the sycomore treesH8256 that are in the lowlandH8219, for abundanceH7230. 28And they broughtH3318 horsesH5483 for SolomonH8010 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, and outH3318 of allH3605 landsH776. 29Now the restH7605 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010, firstH7223 and lastH314, are they notH3808 writtenH3789 in the history of NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and in the prophecyH5016 of AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888, and in the visionsH2378 of IddoH3260 the seerH2374 concerning JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028? 30And SolomonH8010 reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 over allH3605 IsraelH3478 fortyH705 yearsH8141. 31And SolomonH8010 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and he was buriedH6912 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and RehoboamH7346 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his steadH8478.
