Solomon Entertains a Queen
10:1 When the queen of Sheba heard about Solomon , she came to challenge him with difficult questions .
10:2 She arrived in Jerusalem with a great display of pomp , bringing with her camels carrying spices , a very large quantity of gold , and precious gems . She visited Solomon and discussed with him everything that was on her mind .
10:3 Solomon answered all her questions ; there was no question too complex for the king .
10:4 When the queen of Sheba saw for herself Solomon’s extensive wisdom , the palace he had built ,
10:5 the food in his banquet hall , his servants and attendants , their robes , his cupbearers , and his burnt offerings which he presented in the Lord’s temple , she was amazed.
10:6 She said to the king , “The report I heard in my own country about your wise sayings and insight was true !
10:7 I did not believe these things until I came and saw them with my own eyes . Indeed , I didn’t hear even half the story! Your wisdom and wealth surpass what was reported to me.
10:8 Your attendants , who stand before you at all times and hear your wise sayings , are truly happy !
