2 Chronicles 9:1-9

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.
