1 Kings 10:6-11 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. Then she said to the king, “The report which I heard in my land was true concerning your accomplishments and your wisdom.

7. I had not believed the report to be true until I came and my eyes had seen, and behold! The half had not been told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity surpass the report that I had heard.

8. Happy are your men and happy are these your servants who stand before you continually hearing your wisdom.

9. May Yahweh your God be blessed, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel, because of the love of Yahweh for Israel forever, and he has made you king to execute justice and righteousness.”

10. Then she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, abundant spices, and precious stones. Spices as these did not come again in such abundance as that which the queen of Sheba brought to King Solomon.

11. Moreover, the fleet of ships of Hiram which carried the gold from Ophir also brought from Ophir abundant amounts of almug wood and precious stones.
