2 Chronicles 9:4-6
9:4 the food in his banquet hall,
his servants and attendants
in their robes, his cupbearers in their robes, and his burnt sacrifices which he presented in the
Lord’s temple,
she was amazed.
9:5 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your wise sayings and insight
was true!
9:6 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 surpasses what was reported to me.
2 Chronicles 9:20-22
9:20 All of King Solomon’s cups were made of gold, and all the household items in the Palace of the Lebanon Forest were made of pure gold. There were no silver items, for silver was not considered very valuable in Solomon’s time.
9:21 The king had a fleet of large merchant ships manned by Huram’s men that sailed the sea. Once every three years the fleet came into port with cargoes of gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
9:22 King Solomon was wealthier and wiser than any of the kings of the earth.
