CHAPTER CHRONICLES 9
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.
2
And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from
Solomon which he told her not.
3
And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon,
and the house that he had built,
4
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 L
ORD
; there was no more spirit in her.
5
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:
6
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.
7
Happy
are
thy men, and happy
are
these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and
hear thy wisdom.
8
Blessed be the L
ORD
thy God, which delighted in thee to set thee on his throne,
to be
king for the L
ORD
thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore
made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.

servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.

of
the algum trees terraces to the house of the L
ORD
, and to the king’s palace,
and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
12
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside
that
which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her
servants.
