And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 heardH8085 of the fameH8088 of SolomonH8010, she cameH935 to proveH5254 SolomonH8010 with hard questionsH2420 at JerusalemH3389, with a veryH3966 greatH3515 companyH2428, and camelsH1581 that bareH5375 spicesH1314, and goldH2091 in abundanceH7230, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: and when she was comeH935 to SolomonH8010, she communedH1696 with him of all that was in her heartH3824.2And SolomonH8010 toldH5046 her all her questionsH1697: and there was nothing hidH5956 from SolomonH8010 which he toldH5046 her not.3And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 had seenH7200 the wisdomH2451 of SolomonH8010, and the houseH1004 that he had builtH1129,4And the meatH3978 of his tableH7979, and the sittingH4186 of his servantsH5650, and the attendanceH4612 of his ministersH8334, and their apparelH4403; his cupbearersH8248 also, and their apparelH4403; and his ascentH5944 by which he went upH5927 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; there was no more spiritH7307 in her.5And she saidH559 to the kingH4428, It was a trueH571 reportH1697 which I heardH8085 in mine own landH776 of thine actsH1697, and of thy wisdomH2451:6Howbeit I believedH539 not their wordsH1697, until I cameH935, and mine eyesH5869 had seenH7200 it: and, behold, the one halfH2677 of the greatnessH4768 of thy wisdomH2451 was not toldH5046 me: for thou exceedestH3254 the fameH8052 that I heardH8085.7HappyH835 are thy menH582, and happyH835 are these thy servantsH5650, which standH5975 continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 thee, and hearH8085 thy wisdomH2451.8BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which delightedH2654 in thee to setH5414 thee on his throneH3678, to be kingH4428 for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: because thy GodH430 lovedH160 IsraelH3478, to establishH5975 them for everH5769, therefore madeH5414 he thee kingH4428 over them, to doH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666.9And she gaveH5414 the kingH4428 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and of spicesH1314 greatH3966 abundanceH7230, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: neither was there any such spiceH1314 as the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 gaveH5414 kingH4428 SolomonH8010.10And the servantsH5650 also of HuramH2361, and the servantsH5650 of SolomonH8010, which broughtH935 goldH2091 from OphirH211, broughtH935 algumH418 treesH6086 and preciousH3368 stonesH68.11And the kingH4428 madeH6213 of the algumH418 treesH6086 terracesH4546 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and to the king'sH4428 palaceH1004, and harpsH3658 and psalteriesH5035 for singersH7891: and there were none suchH1992 seenH7200 beforeH6440 in the landH776 of JudahH3063.12And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 to the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 all her desireH2656, whatsoever she askedH7592, beside that which she had broughtH935 unto the kingH4428. So she turnedH2015, and went awayH3212 to her own landH776, she and her servantsH5650.

13Now the weightH4948 of goldH2091 that cameH935 to SolomonH8010 in oneH259 yearH8141 was sixH8337 hundredH3967 and threescoreH8346 and sixH8337 talentsH3603 of goldH2091;14Beside that which chapmenH582 H8446 and merchantsH5503 broughtH935. And all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152 and governorsH6346 of the countryH776 broughtH935 goldH2091 and silverH3701 to SolomonH8010.

15And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 two hundredH3967 targetsH6793 of beatenH7820 goldH2091: sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of beatenH7820 goldH2091 wentH5927 to oneH259 targetH6793.16And threeH7969 hundredH3967 shieldsH4043 made he of beatenH7820 goldH2091: threeH7969 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091 wentH5927 to oneH259 shieldH4043. And the kingH4428 putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844.

17Moreover the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127, and overlaidH6823 it with pureH2889 goldH2091.18And there were sixH8337 stepsH4609 to the throneH3678, with a footstoolH3534 of goldH2091, which were fastenedH270 to the throneH3678, and staysH3027 on each side of the sittingH3427 placeH4725, and twoH8147 lionsH738 standingH5975 byH681 the staysH3027:19And twelveH8147 H6240 lionsH738 stoodH5975 there on the one side and on the other upon the sixH8337 stepsH4609. There was not the like madeH6213 in any kingdomH4467.

20And all the drinkingH4945 vesselsH3627 of kingH4428 SolomonH8010 were of goldH2091, and all the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844 were of pureH5462 goldH2091: none were of silverH3701; it was not anyH3972 thing accountedH2803 of in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010.21For the king'sH4428 shipsH591 wentH1980 to TarshishH8659 with the servantsH5650 of HuramH2361: every threeH7969 yearsH8141 onceH259 cameH935 the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 bringingH5375 goldH2091, and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, and apesH6971, and peacocksH8500.22And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 passedH1431 all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in richesH6239 and wisdomH2451.

23And all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 soughtH1245 the presenceH6440 of SolomonH8010, to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451, that GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820.24And they broughtH935 every manH376 his presentH4503, vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and raimentH8008, harnessH5402, and spicesH1314, horsesH5483, and mulesH6505, a rateH1697 yearH8141 by yearH8141.

25And SolomonH8010 had fourH702 thousandH505 stallsH723 for horsesH5483 and chariotsH4818, and twelveH8147 H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571; whom he bestowedH3240 in the chariotH7393 citiesH5892, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389.

26And he reignedH4910 over all the kingsH4428 from the riverH5104 even unto the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and to the borderH1366 of EgyptH4714.27And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 in JerusalemH3389 as stonesH68, and cedar treesH730 madeH5414 he as the sycomore treesH8256 that are in the low plainsH8219 in abundanceH7230.28And they broughtH3318 unto SolomonH8010 horsesH5483 out of EgyptH4714, and out of all landsH776.

29Now the restH7605 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010, firstH7223 and lastH314, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and in the prophecyH5016 of AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888, and in the visionsH2378 of IddoH3260 the seerH2374 against JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028?30And SolomonH8010 reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 over all IsraelH3478 fortyH705 yearsH8141.31And SolomonH8010 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and he was buriedH6912 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and RehoboamH7346 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
