4 When the queen of Sheba (seven) saw all the wisdom of Solomon (peace), the palace he had built,

5 the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the service and attire of his attendants, his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he presented at the house of the LORD {YHWH}, it took her breath {ruach} away.

6 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.

7 But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity have far exceeded the report I heard.

8 How blessed are your men [your wives]! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!

9 Blessed be the LORD your God {YHWH Eloheka}, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel (he wrestles with God). Because of the LORD’s eternal love for Israel, He has made you king to carry out justice and righteousness.”
