1 Kings 10:6-29

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}

10:14

Now the weight
<04948>

of gold
<02091>

that came
<0935> (8804)

to Solomon
<08010>

in one
<0259>

year
<08141>

was six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

threescore
<08346>

and six
<08337>

talents
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_,

10:15

Beside [that he had] of the merchantmen
<0582> <08446> (8802)_,

and of the traffick
<04536>

of the spice merchants
<07402> (8802)_,

and of all the kings
<04428>

of Arabia
<06153>_,

and of the governors
<06346>

of the country
<0776>_.

{governors: or, captains}

10:16

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

made
<06213> (8799)

two hundred
<03967>

targets
<06793>

[of] beaten
<07820> (8803)

gold
<02091>_:

six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

[shekels] of gold
<02091>

went
<05927> (8686)

to one
<0259>

target
<06793>_.

10:17

And [he made] three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

shields
<04043>

[of] beaten
<07820> (8803)

gold
<02091>_;

three
<07969>

pound
<04488>

of gold
<02091>

went
<05927> (8686)

to one
<0259>

shield
<04043>_:

and the king
<04428>

put
<05414> (8799)

them in the house
<01004>

of the forest
<03293>

of Lebanon
<03844>_.

10:18

Moreover the king
<04428>

made
<06213> (8799)

a great
<01419>

throne
<03678>

of ivory
<08127>_,

and overlaid
<06823> (8762)

it with the best
<06338> (8716)

gold
<02091>_.

10:19

The throne
<03678>

had six
<08337>

steps
<04609>_,

and the top
<07218>

of the throne
<03678>

[was] round
<05696>

behind
<0310>_:

and [there were] stays
<03027>

on either side on the place
<04725>

of the seat
<07675> (8800)_,

and two
<08147>

lions
<0738>

stood
<05975> (8802)

beside
<0681>

the stays
<03027>_.

{behind: Heb. on the hinder part thereof} {stays: Heb. hands}

10:20

And twelve
<08147> <06240>

lions
<0738>

stood
<05975> (8802)

there on the one side and on the other upon the six
<08337>

steps
<04609>_:

there was not the like
<03651>

made
<06213> (8738)

in any kingdom
<04467>_.

{the like: Heb. so}

10:21

And all king
<04428>

Solomon's
<08010>

drinking
<04945>

vessels
<03627>

[were of] gold
<02091>_,

and all the vessels
<03627>

of the house
<01004>

of the forest
<03293>

of Lebanon
<03844>

[were of] pure
<05462> (8803)

gold
<02091>_;

none [were of] silver
<03701>_:

it was nothing
<03972>

accounted
<02803> (8737)

of in the days
<03117>

of Solomon
<08010>_.

{none...: or, there was no silver in them}

10:22

For the king
<04428>

had at sea
<03220>

a navy
<0590>

of Tharshish
<08659>

with the navy
<0590>

of Hiram
<02438>_:

once
<0259>

in three
<07969>

years
<08141>

came
<0935> (8799)

the navy
<0590>

of Tharshish
<08659>_,

bringing
<05375> (8802)

gold
<02091>_,

and silver
<03701>_,

ivory
<08143>_,

and apes
<06971>_,

and peacocks
<08500>_.

{ivory: or, elephants' teeth}

10:23

So king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

exceeded
<01431> (8799)

all the kings
<04428>

of the earth
<0776>

for riches
<06239>

and for wisdom
<02451>_.

10:24

And all the earth
<0776>

sought
<01245> (8764)

to
<06440>

Solomon
<08010>_,

to hear
<08085> (8800)

his wisdom
<02451>_,

which God
<0430>

had put
<05414> (8804)

in his heart
<03820>_.

{sought to: Heb. sought the face of}

10:25

And they brought
<0935> (8688)

every man
<0376>

his present
<04503>_,

vessels
<03627>

of silver
<03701>_,

and vessels
<03627>

<02091>_,

and garments
<08008>_,

and armour
<05402>_,

and spices
<01314>_,

horses
<05483>_,

and mules
<06505>_,

a rate
<01697>

year
<08141>

by year
<08141>_.

10:26

And Solomon
<08010>

gathered together
<0622> (8799)

chariots
<07393>

and horsemen
<06571>_:

and he had a thousand
<0505>

and four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

chariots
<07393>_,

and twelve
<08147> <06240>

thousand
<0505>

horsemen
<06571>_,

whom he bestowed
<05148> (8686)

in the cities
<05892>

for chariots
<07393>_,

and with the king
<04428>

at Jerusalem
<03389>_.

10:27

And the king
<04428>

made
<05414> (8799)

silver
<03701>

[to be] in Jerusalem
<03389>

as stones
<068>_,

and cedars
<0730>

made
<05414> (8804)

he [to be] as the sycomore trees
<08256>

that [are] in the vale
<08219>_,

for abundance
<07230>_.

{made: Heb. gave}

10:28

And Solomon
<08010>

had horses
<05483>

brought
<04161>

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

and linen yarn
<04723>_:

the king's
<04428>

merchants
<05503> (8802)

received
<03947> (8799)

the linen yarn
<04723>

at a price
<04242>_.

{And Solomon...: Heb. And the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's}

10:29

And a chariot
<04818>

came up
<05927> (8799)

and went out
<03318> (8799)

of Egypt
<04714>

for six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

[shekels] of silver
<03701>_,

and an horse
<05483>

for an hundred
<03967>

and fifty
<02572>_:

and so for all the kings
<04428>

of the Hittites
<02850>_,

and for the kings
<04428>

of Syria
<0758>_,

did they bring [them] out
<03318> (8686)

by their means
<03027>_.

{by their...: Heb. by their hand}
