New Testament

2 Chronicles 9:5-8 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. And she said to the king: "The word is true, which I had heard in my own land, about your virtues and wisdom.

6. I did not believe those who described it, until I had arrived and my eyes had seen, and I had proven that not even half of your wisdom had been described to me. You have exceeded your fame with your virtue.

7. Blessed are your men, and blessed are your servants, who stand before you at all times and listen to your wisdom.

8. Blessed is the Lord your God, who willed to set you upon his throne as a king for the Lord your God. Since God loves Israel, he wishes to preserve them unto eternity. For this reason, he appointed you as king over them, so that you may accomplish judgment and justice."
