Bible. Chronicles, 2nd
14:008:014 And he appointed, according to the order of David his father,
the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites
to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests,
as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their
courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God
commanded.
14:008:015 And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto
the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning
the treasures.
14:008:016 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the
foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was
finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
14:008:017 Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side
in the land of Edom.
14:008:018 And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and
servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the
servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and
fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
14:009:001 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she
came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a
very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in
abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to
Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
14:009:002 And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing
hid from Solomon which he told her not.
14:009:003 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon,
and the house that he had built,
14:009:004 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants,
and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his
cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he
went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit
in her.
14:009:005 And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard
in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom:
14:009:006 Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine
eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness
of thy wisdom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame
that I heard.
14:009:007 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which
stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
14:009:008 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee to set
thee on his throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because
thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore
made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
