2. She came to Jerusalem with a very great caravan, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
3. Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her.
4. When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
5. the food of his table, the sitting of his servants, the attendance of his officials, their clothing, his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the Lord’s house; there was no more spirit in her.
6. She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.
7. However I didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
8. Happy are your men, happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.
9. Blessed is the Lord your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because the Lord loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness.”
10. She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was there such an abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
