And when
the queen of Sheba heard
of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the
LORD
, she
came
to prove
him with hard
questions.
And the queen of Sheba is
hearing
of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Jehovah
, and
cometh
to try
him with enigmas,
And she came
to Jerusalem with a very great train
, with
camels that
bare
spices, and very much gold, and precious stones:
and when
she was
come
to
Solomon, she
communed
with
him of
all that was
in
her heart.
and she cometh
to Jerusalem ,
with a very great company
, camels bearing
spices, and very much gold, and precious stone,
and she cometh
unto
Solomon, and
speaketh
unto
him all that hath
been
with
her heart.
And Solomon told
her all her questions:
there was
not any
thing hid from the king ,
which
he told
her
not.
And Solomon declareth
to
her all her matters
--
there hath
not been
a
thing hid from the king that
he hath
not declared
to
her
.
And when
the queen of Sheba had
seen
all Solomon's
wisdom, and the house that he had
built,
And the queen of Sheba seeth
all the
wisdom of
Solomon
, and the house that he built,
And the meat
of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance
of his ministers, and their apparel
, and his cupbearers
, and his ascent
by
which
he went
up
unto
the house of the
LORD;
there was
no
more
spirit
in her.
and the food
of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing
of his ministers, and their clothing
, and his butlers
, and his burnt-offering
that
he causeth
to
ascend
in
the house of Jehovah,
and
there hath
not
been
in her any
more
spirit
.
And she said
to
the king, It
was
a
true report
that I heard in mine
own
land of
thy acts
and of
thy wisdom .
And she saith
unto
the king, `
True hath
been
the
word
that I heard in my
land ,
concerning
thy matters
and thy wisdom ;
Howbeit
I believed
not
the words ,
until
I came
, and mine
eyes had
seen
it:
and
, behold
, the
half
was not told
me :
thy
wisdom and prosperity
exceedeth
the fame
which
I heard.
and
I gave
no
credence
to
the words till
that
I have
come
, and my
eyes see
, and
lo
, it
was not declared
to
me --
the
half;
thou
hast
added
wisdom and goodness
unto
the report
that
I heard.
Happy
are
thy men, happy
are
these
thy servants ,
which
stand
continually
before thee, and
that
hear
thy wisdom .
O
the
happiness
of
thy men, O
the
happiness
of
thy servants --
these
--
who
are
standing
before thee continually
, who
are
hearing
thy wisdom !
Blessed
be
the
LORD
thy God ,
which
delighted in thee, to set
thee on the throne of Israel :
because
the
LORD
loved
Israel for
ever,
therefore
made
he thee king, to do judgment and justice
.
Jehovah
thy God is
blessed
who
delighted in thee, to put
thee on the throne of Israel ;
in
Jehovah's
loving
Israel to
the
age
He doth
set
thee for
king, to do judgment and righteousness
.
And she gave
the king an
hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of
spices very great

more such
abundance of
spices
as
