When the queen of Sheba saw for herself Solomon&#8217;s extensive wisdom,<n id="1" /> the palace<n id="2" /> he had built,

The temple King Solomon built for the <sc>Lordsc> was 90 feet<n id="1" /> long, 30 feet<n id="2" /> wide, and 45 feet<n id="3" /> high.

As the temple was being built, only stones shaped at the quarry<n id="1" /> were used; the sound of hammers, pickaxes, or any other iron tool was not heard at the temple while it was being built.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;When you direct your people to march out and fight their enemies,<n id="1" /> and they direct their prayers to the <sc>Lordsc><n id="2" /> toward his chosen city and this temple I built for your honor,<n id="3" />

When they return to you with all their heart and being<n id="1" /> in the land where they are held prisoner,<n id="2" /> and direct their prayers to you toward the land you gave to their ancestors, your chosen city, and the temple I built for your honor,<n id="3" />

This temple will become a heap of ruins;<n id="1" /> everyone who passes by it will be shocked and will hiss out their scorn,<n id="2" /> saying, &#8216;Why did the <sc>Lordsc> do this to this land and this temple?&#8217;
