1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning YHWH’s name, she came to test him with hard questions. 1 Kings 10:1WEB
2 She came to Jerusalem with a very great caravan, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart. 1 Kings 10:2WEB
3 Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her. 1 Kings 10:3WEB
4 When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, 1 Kings 10:4WEB
5 the food of his table, the sitting of his servants, the attendance of his officials, their clothing, his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to YHWH’s house, there was no more spirit in her. 1 Kings 10:5WEB
6 She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom. 1 Kings 10:6WEB
7 However, I didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard. 1 Kings 10:7WEB
8 Happy are your men, happy are these your servants who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom. 1 Kings 10:8WEB
9 Blessed is YHWH your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because YHWH loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness.” 1 Kings 10:9WEB
10 She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was there such an abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. 1 Kings 10:10WEB
11 The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought in from Ophir great quantities of almug trees and precious stones. 1 Kings 10:11WEB
12 The king made of the almug trees pillars for YHWH’s house and for the king’s house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers; no such almug trees came or were seen to this day. 1 Kings 10:12WEB
13 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, in addition to that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants. 1 Kings 10:13WEB
14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold, 1 Kings 10:14WEB
15 in addition to that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed people, and of the governors of the country. 1 Kings 10:15WEB
16 King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler. 1 Kings 10:16WEB
17 He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon. 1 Kings 10:17WEB
18 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold. 1 Kings 10:18WEB
19 There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests. 1 Kings 10:19WEB
20 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. Nothing like it was made in any kingdom. 1 Kings 10:20WEB
21 All king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver, because it was considered of little value in the days of Solomon. 1 Kings 10:21WEB
22 For the king had a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet. Once every three years the fleet of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. 1 Kings 10:22WEB
23 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. 1 Kings 10:23WEB
24 All the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart. 1 Kings 10:24WEB
25 Year after year, every man brought his tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules. 1 Kings 10:25WEB
26 Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen. He kept them in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem. 1 Kings 10:26WEB
27 The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedars as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland. 1 Kings 10:27WEB
28 The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price. 1 Kings 10:28WEB
29 A chariot was imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty shekels; and so they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Syria. 1 Kings 10:29WEB
