Bible. Chronicles, 2nd
with a very great train, and camels that bore spices,
and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she
was come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was
in her heart.
009:002 Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not anything
hid from Solomon which he didn't tell her.
009:003 When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon,
and the house that he had built,
009:004 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants,
and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing,
his cup bearers also, and their clothing, and his ascent
by which he went up to the house of Yahweh; there was no more
spirit in her.
009:005 She said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in my
own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.
009:006 However I didn't believe their words, until I came, and my eyes
had seen it; and behold, the half of the greatness of your
wisdom was not told me: you exceed the fame that I heard.
009:007 Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants,
who stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom.
009:008 Blessed be Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you
on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God: because your
God loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore made
he you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.
009:009 She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold,
and spices in great abundance, and precious stones:
neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave
to king Solomon.
009:010 The servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought
gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
009:011 The king made of the algum trees terraces for the house of Yahweh,
and for the king's house, and harps and stringed instruments
for the singers: and there were none like these seen before
in the land of Judah.
009:012 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire,
whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the king.
So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
009:013 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six
hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
009:014 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.
009:015 King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold;
six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold went to one buckler.
009:016 [he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold;
three hundred [shekels] of gold went to one shield:
and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
009:017 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid
it with pure gold.
