And when the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

heard
<08085> (8804)

of the fame
<08088>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

she came
<0935> (8799)

to prove
<05254> (8763)

Solomon
<08010>

with hard questions
<02420>

at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

with a very
<03966>

great
<03515>

company
<02428>_,

and camels
<01581>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

spices
<01314>_,

and gold
<02091>

in abundance
<07230>_,

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>_.

9:2

And Solomon
<08010>

told
<05046> (8686)

her all her questions
<01697>_:

and there was nothing hid
<05956> (8738)

from Solomon
<08010>

which he told
<05046> (8689)

her not.

9:3

And when the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

had seen
<07200> (8799)

the wisdom
<02451>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

and the house
<01004>

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

9:4

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>_;

his cupbearers
<08248> (8688)

also, and their apparel
<04403>_;

and his ascent
<05944>

by which he went up
<05927> (8799)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

there was no more spirit
<07307>

in her. {cupbearers: or, butlers}

9:5

And she said
<0559> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

[It was] a true
<0571>

report
<01697>

which I heard
<08085> (8804)

in mine own land
<0776>

of thine acts
<01697>_,

and of thy wisdom
<02451>_:

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

9:6

Howbeit I believed
<0539> (8689)

not their words
<01697>_,

until I came
<0935> (8804)_,

and mine eyes
<05869>

had seen
<07200> (8799)

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

of the greatness
<04768>

of thy wisdom
<02451>

was not told
<05046> (8717)

me: [for] thou exceedest
<03254> (8804)

the fame
<08052>

that I heard
<08085> (8804)_.

9:7

Happy
<0835>

[are] thy men
<0582>_,

and happy
<0835>

[are] these thy servants
<05650>_,

which stand
<05975> (8802)

continually
<08548>

before
<06440>

thee, and hear
<08085> (8802)

thy wisdom
<02451>_.

9:8

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

be the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

which delighted
<02654> (8804)

in thee to set
<05414> (8800)

thee on his throne
<03678>_,

[to be] king
<04428>

for the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_:

because thy God
<0430>

loved
<0160>

Israel
<03478>_,

to establish
<05975> (8687)

them for ever
<05769>_,

therefore made
<05414> (8799)

he thee king
<04428>

over them, to do
<06213> (8800)

judgment
<04941>

and justice
<06666>_.

9:9

And she gave
<05414> (8799)

the king
<04428>

an hundred
<03967>

and twenty
<06242>

talents
<03603>

of gold
<02091>_,

and of spices
<01314>

great
<03966>

abundance
<07230>_,

and precious
<03368>

stones
<068>_:

neither was there any such spice
<01314>

as the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

gave
<05414> (8804)

king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_.

9:10

And the servants
<05650>

also of Huram
<02361>_,

and the servants
<05650>

of Solomon
<08010>_,

which brought
<0935> (8689)

gold
<02091>

from Ophir
<0211>_,

brought
<0935> (8689)

algum
<0418>

trees
<06086>

and precious
<03368>

stones
<068>_.

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

9:11

And the king
<04428>

made
<06213> (8799)

[of] the algum
<0418>

trees
<06086>

terraces
<04546>

to the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and to the king's
<04428>

palace
<01004>_,

and harps
<03658>

and psalteries
<05035>

for singers
<07891> (8802)_:

and there were none such
<01992>

seen
<07200> (8738)

before
<06440>

in the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_.

{terraces: or, stairs: Heb. highways}

9:12

And king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

gave
<05414> (8804)

to the queen
<04436>

of Sheba
<07614>

all her desire
<02656>_,

whatsoever she asked
<07592> (8804)_,

beside [that] which she had brought
<0935> (8689)

unto the king
<04428>_.

So she turned
<02015> (8799)_,

and went away
<03212> (8799)

to her own land
<0776>_,

she and her servants
<05650>_.

<03967>

and threescore
<08346>

Beside [that which] chapmen
<0582> <08446> (8802)

and merchants
<05503> (8802)

brought
<0935> (8688)_.

And all the kings
<04428>

of Arabia
<06152>

and governors
<06346>

of the country
<0776>

brought
<0935> (8688)

<02091>

and silver
<03701>

<02091>

went
<05927> (8686)

to one

<04043>_.

And the king

put
<05414> (8799)

them in the house
<01004>

of the forest
<03293>

of Lebanon
<03844>_.

9:17

Moreover the king
<04428>

made
<06213> (8799)

a great
<01419>

throne
<03678>

of ivory
<08127>_,

and overlaid
<06823> (8762)

it with pure

lions
<0738>

stood
<05975> (8802)

there on the one side and on the other upon the six
