14:009:001 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the
fame of Solomon, she
came
to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem,
with a
very
great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold
in
abundance,
and precious stones: and when she was come to
Solomon,
she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
14:009:002 And Solomon told her all her questions:
and there was nothing
hid
from Solomon which he told her not.
14:009:003 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the
wisdom of Solomon,
and
the house that he had built,
14:009:004 And the meat of his table, and the sitting
of his servants,
and
the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel;
his
cupbearers
also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he
went
up into the house of the lord; there was no more
spirit
in
her.
14:009:005 And she said to the king, It was a true
report which I heard
in
mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom:
14:009:006 Howbeit I believed not their words, until
I came, and mine
eyes
had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the
greatness
of
thy wisdom was not told me: for thou exceedest
the fame
that
I heard.
14:009:007 Happy are thy men, and happy are these
thy servants, which
stand
continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
14:009:008 Blessed be the lord thy God, which
delighted in thee to set
thee
on his throne, to be king for the lord thy God:
because
thy
God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore
made
he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
14:009:009 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty
talents of gold,
and
of spices great abundance, and precious stones:
neither
was
there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king
Solomon.
14:009:010 And the servants also of Huram, and the
servants of Solomon,
which
brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and
precious
stones.
14:009:011 And the king made of the algum trees terraces
to the house of
the
lord, and to the king’s palace, and harps
and psalteries
for
singers: and there were none such seen before
in the land
of
Judah.
14:009:012 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba
all her desire,
whatsoever
she asked, beside that which she had brought unto
the
king. So she turned, and went away to her own
land, she
and
her servants.
14:009:013 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon
in one year was
six
hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;
