And
the queen of Sheba is
hearing
of
the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Jehovah
, and
cometh
to try
him with enigmas,
Now
when
the queen of Sheba heard
about
the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the
LORD
, she
came
to test
him with difficult
questions.
and
she cometh
to
Jerusalem ,
with a very great
company,
camels bearing spices, and
very
much
gold, and precious stone,
and
she cometh
unto
Solomon ,
and speaketh
unto
him all that hath
been
with
her heart
.
She arrived
in
Jerusalem with a very large
caravan—with
camels bearing spices, gold in
great
abundance
, and precious stones.
So
she came
to
Solomon and spoke
to
him all that was
on
her mind
.
And Solomon declareth
to
her
all her matters
--
there
hath
not
been
a
thing
hid
from
the king that
he
hath
not
declared
to her
.
And Solomon answered
all her questions;
nothing
was
too
difficult
for
the king to explain
.
And
the queen of Sheba seeth
all the wisdom of Solomon, and
the house
that
he built,
When
the queen of Sheba saw
all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace
he had
built,
and
the food of
his table, and
the sitting
of his servants, and
the standing
of his ministers,
and
their
clothing,
and his
butlers
, and his
burnt -offering
that
he causeth
to
ascend
in
the house of Jehovah
, and
there
hath
not
been
in
her any
more
spirit
.
the food at
his table, the seating
of his servants, the service
and
attire
of his attendants
and cupbearers
, and the
burnt offerings
he presented
at
the house of the
LORD
, it
took
her breath
away
.
And
she saith
unto
the king, `True
hath
been
the word
that
I heard in my land,
concerning
thy
matters
and thy
wisdom ;
She said
to
the king, “
The report
I heard in my own
country
about
your
words
and wisdom is
true.
and
I gave
no
credence
to
the
words
till
that
I have
come,
and my eyes see,
and
lo
, it
was
not declared
to me --
the
half;
thou
hast
added
wisdom and goodness
unto
the report that
I heard.
But
I did
not
believe
these
things
until
I came
and saw
with
my own
eyes .
Indeed
, not even
half
was
told
to me .
Your
wisdom and prosperity
have
far
exceeded
the report I heard.
O
the
happiness
of
thy
men ,
O
the
happiness
of
thy
servants
--
these --
who are
standing
before
thee
continually ,
who
are
hearing
thy
wisdom!
How
blessed
are
your
men !
How
blessed
are
these servants
of
yours
who stand
continually before
you
and
hear
your
wisdom!
Jehovah
thy
God
is
blessed who delighted in thee,
to put
thee
on the throne of Israel ;
in
Jehovah's
loving
Israel
to
the age
He
doth
set
thee
for king
, to do
judgment
and righteousness.
Blessed be
the
LORD
your
God,
who has
delighted in you
to set
you
on the throne of Israel .
Because
of
the LORD’s
eternal
love
for Israel
, He
has
made
you
king
to carry
out
justice
and righteousness. ”
And
she giveth
to
the king a
hundred
and
twenty
talents of gold, and
spices very
many
, and precious stone;
there
came
not
like
that
spice
any
more
for
abundance that
the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
Then
she gave
the king 120
talents of gold, a
great
quantity
of
spices, and precious stones.
Never
again
was
such
an
abundance of
spices
brought
in
as
those
the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
And
also,
the navy
of Hiram that bore
gold from Ophir ,
brought in
from Ophir almug -trees
very
many,
and precious stone;
(
The fleet
of Hiram that brought
gold from Ophir also
brought from Ophir a
great
cargo
of
almug wood
and precious stones.
and
the king maketh
the almug -trees
a
support
for the house of Jehovah,
and for the house
of
the
king
, and harps
and psalteries
for singers ;
there
have
not
come
such almug -trees
, nor have
there
been seen `such'
unto
this day.
The king made
the almug wood
into
steps
for the house of the
LORD
and for the king’s
palace
, and into
lyres
and harps
for the
singers .
Never
before
had
such almug wood
been
brought
in
, nor has
such
been seen to
this day. )
And
king Solomon gave to
the queen of Sheba all her
desire
that
she asked ,
apart
from
that
which
he gave
to
her as
a
memorial
of king
Solomon,
and
she turneth
and goeth
to her land
, she
and
her servants.
King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever
she
asked —besides
what
he had
given
her out
of his
royal
bounty.
Then
she left
and returned
to her own
country
, along
with
her servants.
And
the weight of the
gold that hath
come
to Solomon in
one
year is
six

sixty
and
six
talents of
gold
,

year was
666
talents,

of
the traffic
of
the merchants, and of
all the kings of
Arabia,
and of
the
governors of the land.

kings and governors of the land.

them `
in '
the house of the forest of Lebanon.

of
silver ;

reckoned
in the days of Solomon for
anything,

drinking
cups
were
gold, and all the utensils
