11:009:023 These were the chief of the officers that
were over Solomon’s
work,
five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people
that
wrought in the work.
11:009:024 But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out
of the city of David unto
her
house which Solomon had built for her: then did
he build
Millo.
11:009:025 And three times in a year did Solomon offer
burnt offerings
and
peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto
the
lord,
and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before
the
lord.
So he finished the house.
11:009:026 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in
Eziongeber, which is
beside
Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of
Edom.
11:009:027 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants,
shipmen that had
knowledge
of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
11:009:028 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from
thence gold, four
hundred
and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
11:010:001 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.
11:010:002 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.
11:010:003 And Solomon told her all her questions:
there was not any
thing
hid from the king, which he told her not.
11:010:004 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all
Solomon’s wisdom, and
the
house that he had built,
11:010:005 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.
11:010:006 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.
11:010:007 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.
11:010:008 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy
servants, which stand
continually
before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
11:010:009 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.
