6. And she said to HaMelech, It was emes the report that I heard in mine own eretz of thy devarim and of thy chochmah.
7. Howbeit I believed not the devarim, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it; and, hinei, the half was not told me; thy chochmah and tov (prosperity) exceedeth the fame which I heard.
8. Ashrei are thy anashim; ashrei are these thy avadim, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy chochmah.
9. Yehi Hashem Eloheicha baruch Who delighted in thee, to set thee on the Kisse Yisroel; because Hashem loved Yisroel l'olam, therefore made He thee Melech, to do mishpat and tzedakah.
10. And she gave HaMelech a hundred and twenty talents of zahav, and a very large store of spices and precious gems; there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the Malkah of Sheva gave to Melech Sh'lomo.
11. And the fleet of oniyyot also of Chiram, that brought zahav from Ophir, brought in from Ophir a vast supply of almug wood, and precious gems.
12. And HaMelech made of the almug wood misad (steps, support) for the Beis Hashem, and for the Bais HaMelech, kinnorot (harps) also and nevalim (lyres) for the singers; there came no such almug wood, nor were seen unto this day.
13. And HaMelech Sh'lomo gave unto the Malkah of Sheva all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that which Sh'lomo gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her avadim.
14. Now the weight of zahav that came to Sh'lomo in one year was 666 talents of zahav,
15. This was in addition to what he had of the anashei hatarim (merchants), and of the income of traders, and of all the Melachim of Arabia, and of the Governors of the land.
16. And HaMelech Sh'lomo made two hundred large shields of hammered zahav; six hundred shekels of zahav went to one shield.
