1
Now when the queen
of Sheba
heard
of the fame
of
Solomon
,
she came
to Jerusalem
to test
Solomon
with difficult questions.
She had a very
large
retinue,
with camels
carrying
spices
and a
large
amount
of gold
and precious
stones;
and when
she came
to
Solomon
,
she spoke
with him about all
that was on her heart.
2
Solomon
answered
all
her questions;
nothing
was hidden
from
Solomon
which
he did not explain
to her.
3
When the queen
of Sheba
had seen
the wisdom
of Solomon,
the house
which
he had built,
4
the food
at his table,
the seating
of his servants,
the attendance
of his ministers
and their attire,
his cupbearers
and their attire,
and his stairway
by which
he went
up to the house
of the LORD,
she was breathless.
5
Then she said
to the king,
"It was a true
report
which
I heard
in my own land
about
your words
and your wisdom.
6
"Nevertheless I did not believe
their reports
until
I came
and my eyes
had seen
it. And behold,
the half
of the greatness
of your wisdom
was not told
me. You surpass
the report
that I heard.
7
"How blessed
are your men,
how blessed
are these
your servants
who stand
before
you continually
and hear
your wisdom.
8
"Blessed
be the LORD
your God
who
delighted
in you, setting
you on His throne
as king
for the LORD
your God
;
because
your God
loved
Israel
establishing
them forever,
therefore He made
you king
over
them, to do
justice
and righteousness."
9
Then she
gave
the king
one hundred
and twenty
talents
of gold
and a very
great
amount of spices
and precious
stones;
there had
never
been
spice
like that which
the queen
of Sheba
gave
to King
Solomon.
10
The servants
of Huram
and the servants
of Solomon
who
brought
gold
from Ophir,
also
brought
algum
trees
and precious
stones.
11
From the algum trees
the king
made
steps
for the house
of the LORD
and for
the king
's
palace,
and lyres
and harps
for the singers;
and none
like that was seen
before
in the land
of Judah.
12
King
Solomon
gave
to the queen
of Sheba
all
her desire
which
she requested
besides
a return for what
she had brought
to the king.
Then she turned
and went
to her own land
with her servants.
13
Now the weight
of gold
which
came
to Solomon
in one
year
was 666
talents
of gold
,
14
besides
that which the traders
and merchants
brought
;
and all
the kings
of Arabia
and the governors
of the country
brought
gold
and silver
to Solomon.
15
King
Solomon
made
200
large
shields
of beaten
gold
,
using
600
shekels
of beaten
gold
on each
large
shield.
16
He made 300
shields
of beaten
gold,
using
three
hundred
shekels of gold
on each
shield,
and the king
put
them in the house
of the forest
of Lebanon.
17
Moreover, the king
made
a great
throne
of ivory
and overlaid
it with pure
gold.
18
There were six
steps
to the throne
and a footstool
in gold
attached
to the throne
,
and arms
on each
side
of the seat,
and two
lions
standing
beside
the arms.
19
Twelve
lions
were standing
there
on the six
steps
on the one
side and on the other;
nothing
like
it was made
for any
other kingdom.
20
All
King
Solomon's
drinking
vessels
were of gold,
and all
the
vessels
of the house
of the forest
of Lebanon
were of pure
gold;
silver
was not considered
valuable
in the days
of Solomon.
21
For the king
had ships
which went
to Tarshish
with the servants
of Huram;
once
every three
years
the ships
of Tarshish
came
bringing
gold
and silver,
ivory
and apes
and peacocks.
22
So King
Solomon
became greater
than
all
the kings
of the earth
in riches
and wisdom.
23
And all
the kings
of the earth
were seeking
the presence
of Solomon,
to hear
his wisdom
which
God
had put
in his heart.
24
They brought
every man
his gift,
articles
of silver
and gold,
garments,
weapons,
spices,
horses
and mules,
so much
year
by
year
.
25
Now Solomon
had
4,000
stalls
for horses
and chariots
and 12,000
horsemen,
and he stationed
them in the chariot
cities
and with the king
in Jerusalem.
26
He was the ruler
over all
the kings
from the Euphrates River
even to the land
of the Philistines,
and as far
as the border
of Egypt.
27
The king
made
silver
as common as stones
in Jerusalem,
and he
made
cedars
as plentiful
as sycamore trees
that are in the lowland.
28
And they were bringing
horses
for Solomon
from Egypt
and from all
countries.
29
Now the rest
of the acts
of Solomon,
from first
to last,
are they not written
in the records
of Nathan
the prophet,
and in the prophecy
of Ahijah
the Shilonite,
and in the visions
of Iddo
the seer
concerning
Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat?
30
Solomon
reigned
forty
years
in Jerusalem
over
all
Israel.
31
And Solomon
slept
with his fathers
and was buried
in the city
of his father
David;
and his son
Rehoboam
reigned
in his place.
