10:1

And when the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

heard
<08085> (8802)

of the fame
<08088>

of Solomon
<08010>

concerning the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

she came
<0935> (8799)

to prove
<05254> (8763)

him with hard questions
<02420>_.

10:2

And she came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

with a very
<03966>

great
<03515>

train
<02428>_,

with camels
<01581>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

spices
<01314>_,

and very
<03966>

much
<07227>

gold
<02091>_,

and precious
<03368>

stones
<068>_:

and when she was come
<0935> (8799)

to Solomon
<08010>_,

she communed
<01696> (8762)

with him of all that was in her heart
<03824>_.

10:3

And Solomon
<08010>

told
<05046> (8686)

her all her questions
<01697>_:

there was not [any] thing
<01697>

hid
<05956> (8737)

from the king
<04428>_,

which he told
<05046> (8689)

her not. {questions: Heb. words}

10:4

And when the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

had seen
<07200> (8799)

all Solomon's
<08010>

wisdom
<02451>_,

and the house
<01004>

that he had built
<01129> (8804)_,

10:5

And the meat
<03978>

of his table
<07979>_,

and the sitting
<04186>

of his servants
<05650>_,

and the attendance
<04612>

of his ministers
<08334> (8764)_,

and their apparel
<04403>_,

and his cupbearers
<08248> (8688)_,

and his ascent
<05930>

by which he went up
<05927> (8799)

unto the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

there was no more spirit
<07307>

in her. {attendance: Heb. standing} {cupbearers: or, butlers}

10:6

And she said
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

It was a true
<0571>

report
<01697>

that I heard
<08085> (8804)

in mine own land
<0776>

of thy acts
<01697>

and of thy wisdom
<02451>_.

{report: Heb. word} {acts: or, sayings}

10:7

Howbeit I believed
<0539> (8689)

not the words
<01697>_,

until I came
<0935> (8804)_,

and mine eyes
<05869>

had seen
<07200> (8799)

[it]: and, behold, the half
<02677>

was not told
<05046> (8717)

me: thy wisdom
<02451>

and prosperity
<02896>

exceedeth
<03254> (8689)

the fame
<08052>

which I heard
<08085> (8804)_.

{thy...: Heb. thou hast added wisdom and goodness to}

10:8

Happy
<0835>

[are] thy men
<0582>_,

happy
<0835>

[are] these thy servants
<05650>_,

which stand
<05975> (8802)

continually
<08548>

before
<06440>

thee, [and] that hear
<08085> (8802)

thy wisdom
<02451>_.

10:9

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

be the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

which delighted
<02654> (8804)

in thee, to set
<05414> (8800)

thee on the throne
<03678>

of Israel
<03478>_:

because the LORD
<03068>

loved
<0160>

Israel
<03478>

for ever
<05769>_,

therefore made
<07760> (8799)

he thee king
<04428>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

judgment
<04941>

and justice
<06666>_.

10:10

And she gave
<05414> (8799)

the king
<04428>

an hundred
<03967>

and twenty
<06242>

talents
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_,

and of spices
<01314>

very
<03966>

great store
<07235> (8687)_,

and precious
<03368>

stones
<068>_:

there came
<0935> (8804)

no more such
<01931>

abundance
<07230>

of spices
<01314>

as these which the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

gave
<05414> (8804)

to king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_.

10:11

And the navy
<0590>

also of Hiram
<02438>_,

that brought
<05375> (8804)

gold
<02091>

from Ophir
<0211>_,

brought in
<0935> (8689)

from Ophir
<0211>

great
<03966>

plenty
<07235> (8687)

of almug
<0484>

trees
<06086>_,

and precious
<03368>

stones
<068>_.

{almug...: also called, algum trees}

10:12

And the king
<04428>

made
<06213> (8799)

of the almug
<0484>

trees
<06086>

pillars
<04552>

for the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and for the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

harps
<03658>

also and psalteries
<05035>

for singers
<07891> (8802)_:

there came
<0935> (8804)

no such almug
<0484>

trees
<06086>_,

nor were seen
<07200> (8738)

unto this day
<03117>_.

{pillars: or, rails: Heb. a prop}

10:13

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

gave
<05414> (8804)

unto the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

all her desire
<02656>_,

whatsoever she asked
<07592> (8804)_,

beside [that] which Solomon
<08010>

gave
<05414> (8804)

her of his royal
<04428>

bounty
<03027>_.

So she turned
<06437> (8799)

and went
<03212> (8799)

to her own country
<0776>_,

she and her servants
<05650>_.

{of his...: Heb. according to the hand of king Solomon}

1 Kings 10:2

10:2

And she came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

with a very
<03966>

great
<03515>

train
<02428>_,

with camels
<01581>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

spices
<01314>_,

and very
<03966>

much
<07227>

gold
<02091>_,

and precious
<03368>

stones
<068>_:

and when she was come
<0935> (8799)

to Solomon
<08010>_,

she communed
<01696> (8762)

with him of all that was in her heart
<03824>_.

1 Kings 9:1-12

9:1

And it came to pass, when Solomon
<08010>

had finished
<03615> (8763)

the building
<01129> (8800)

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and all Solomon's
<08010>

desire
<02837>

which he was pleased
<02654> (8804)

to do
<06213> (8800)_,

9:2

That the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8735)

to Solomon
<08010>

the second time
<08145>_,

as he had appeared
<07200> (8738)

unto him at Gibeon
<01391>_.

9:3

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I have heard
<08085> (8804)

thy prayer
<08605>

and thy supplication
<08467>_,

that thou hast made
<02603> (8694)

before
<06440>

me: I have hallowed
<06942> (8689)

this house
<01004>_,

which thou hast built
<01129> (8804)_,

to put
<07760> (8800)

my name
<08034>

there for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_;

and mine eyes
<05869>

and mine heart
<03820>

shall be there perpetually
<03117>_.

9:4

And if thou wilt walk
<03212> (8799)

before
<06440>

me, as David
<01732>

thy father
<01>

walked
<01980> (8804)_,

in integrity
<08537>

of heart
<03824>_,

and in uprightness
<03476>_,

to do
<06213> (8800)

according to all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee, [and] wilt keep
<08104> (8799)

my statutes
<02706>

and my judgments
<04941>_:

9:5

Then I will establish
<06965> (8689)

the throne
<03678>

of thy kingdom
<04467>

upon Israel
<03478>

for ever
<05769>_,

as I promised
<01696> (8765)

to David
<01732>

thy father
<01>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

There shall not fail
<03772> (8735)

thee a man
<0376>

upon the throne
<03678>

of Israel
<03478>_.

9:6

[But] if ye shall at all
<07725> (8800)

turn
<07725> (8799)

from following
<0310>

me, ye or your children
<01121>_,

and will not keep
<08104> (8799)

my commandments
<04687>

[and] my statutes
<02708>

which I have set
<05414> (8804)

before
<06440>

you, but go
<01980> (8804)

and serve
<05647> (8804)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

and worship
<07812> (8694)

them:

9:7

Then will I cut off
<03772> (8689)

Israel
<03478>

out
<06440>

of the land
<0127>

which I have given
<05414> (8804)

them; and this house
<01004>_,

which I have hallowed
<06942> (8689)

for my name
<08034>_,

will I cast out
<07971> (8762)

of my sight
<06440>_;

and Israel
<03478>

shall be a proverb
<04912>

and a byword
<08148>

among all people
<05971>_:

9:8

And at this house
<01004>_,

[which] is high
<05945>_,

every one that passeth
<05674> (8802)

by it shall be astonished
<08074> (8799)_,

and shall hiss
<08319> (8804)_;

and they shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

Why hath the LORD
<03068>

done
<06213> (8804)

thus unto this land
<0776>_,

and to this house
<01004>_?

9:9

And they shall answer
<0559> (8804)_,

Because they forsook
<05800> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

who brought forth
<03318> (8689)

their fathers
<01>

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and have taken hold
<02388> (8686)

upon other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

and have worshipped
<07812> (8691)

them, and served
<05647> (8799)

them: therefore hath the LORD
<03068>

brought
<0935> (8689)

upon them all this evil
<07451>_.

9:10

And it came to pass at the end
<07097>

of twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>_,

when Solomon
<08010>

had built
<01129> (8804)

the two
<08147>

houses
<01004>_,

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

9:11

([Now] Hiram
<02438>

the king
<04428>

of Tyre
<06865>

had furnished
<05375> (8765)

Solomon
<08010>

with cedar
<0730>

trees
<06086>

and fir
<01265>

trees
<06086>_,

and with gold
<02091>_,

according to all his desire
<02656>,)

that then
<0227>

king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

gave
<05414> (8799)

Hiram
<02438>

twenty
<06242>

cities
<05892>

in the land
<0776>

of Galilee
<01551>_.

9:12

And Hiram
<02438>

came out
<03318> (8799)

from Tyre
<06865>

to see
<07200> (8800)

the cities
<05892>

which Solomon
<08010>

had given
<05414> (8804)

him; and they pleased
<03474> (8804) <05869>

him not. {pleased...: Heb. were not right in his eyes}
