2 Chronicles 9:5-10 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

5. And she said to the king, “The word which I heard in my land concerning your words and your wisdom is true,

6. but I did not believe their words until I came and saw with my own eyes. And behold, half the greatness of your wisdom was not reported to me; you surpass the rumors that I had heard.

7. Blessed are your men, and blessed are these your servants who stand before you regularly and hear your wisdom!

8. Blessed be Yahweh your God who took delight in you, to put you on his throne as king for Yahweh your God! Because your God loved Israel, he established him forever and has put you over them as king to do justice and righteousness!”

9. And she gave to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold and a very great amount of spices and precious stones. And there were no spices such as those that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

10. Moreover the servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon who brought gold from Ophir brought algum wood and precious stones.
