4 And the queene of Saba considered al Solomons wysdome, & the house that he had buylded, 5 And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruauntes, the order of his ministers & their apparell, & his drinke, and his burnt sacrifices that he offred in the house of the Lorde: and she was astonied. 6 And she sayde vnto the king: It was a true word that I hearde in myne owne land of thy sayinges, & of thy wisdome. 7 Howbeit I beleued it not, till I came & sawe it with myne eyes: And beholde, the one halfe was not tolde me: for thy wysdome and prosperitie exceedeth the fame which I hearde of thee. 8 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy seruauntes whiche stand euer before thee, and heare thy wysdome. 9 Blessed be the Lorde thy God, whiche loued thee, to set thee on the seate of Israel, because the Lorde loued Israel for euer, & made thee king to do equite and righteousnes. 1 Kings 10:4-9, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
