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.

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.

8. “Blessed be יהוה your Elohim, who delighted in you, to put you on His throne to be sovereign for יהוה your Elohim! Because your Elohim has loved Yisra’ĕl, to establish them forever, therefore He made you sovereign over them, to do right-ruling and righteousness.”

12. And Sovereign Shelomoh gave to the sovereigness of Sheḇa all she desired, whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the sovereign. And she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
13. And the weight of gold that came to Shelomoh yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
