Bible. Kings, 1st
11:009:021 Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the
children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon
those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day.
11:009:022 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but
they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and
his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.
11:009:023 These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon's
work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people
that wrought in the work.
11:009:024 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto
her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build
Millo.
11:009:025 And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings
and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the
LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the
LORD. So he finished the house.
11:009:026 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is
beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of
Edom.
11:009:027 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had
knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
11:009:028 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four
hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
11:010:001 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon
concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with
hard questions.
11:010:002 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels
that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and
when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all
that was in her heart.
11:010:003 And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any
thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
11:010:004 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and
the house that he had built,
11:010:005 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants,
and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and
his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the
house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
11:010:006 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in
mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
11:010:007 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes
had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom
and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
11:010:008 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand
continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
