2 Chronicles 9:1-6 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. And the sovereigness of Sheḇa heard of the report of Shelomoh, and came to Yerushalayim to try Shelomoh with hard questions, with a very great company, and camels bearing spices, and much gold, and precious stones. And she came to Shelomoh, and she spoke with him about all that was in her heart.

2. And Shelomoh answered all her questions. And there was no matter hidden for Shelomoh which he did not make known to her.

3. And the sovereigness of Sheḇa saw the wisdom of Shelomoh, and the house that he had built,

4. and the food on his table, and the seating of his servants, and the service of his waiters and their attire, and his cupbearers and their attire, and his burnt offerings that he offered up in the House of יהוה, and there was no more spirit in her.

5. Then she said to the sovereign, “True was the word I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom.

6. “But I did not believe their words until I came and saw with my own eyes. And see, I have not been told the half of the greatness of your wisdom! You exceed the report which I heard.
