1 Now when the queen of Sheba (seven) heard about the fame of Solomon (peace), she came to test him with difficult questions. She arrived in Jerusalem (city of peace) with a very large caravan—with camels bearing spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. And she came to Solomon and spoke with him about all that was on her mind. 2 And Solomon (peace) answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for him to explain. 3 When the queen of Sheba (seven) saw the wisdom of Solomon (peace), the palace he had built, 4 the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the service and attire of his attendants, the attire of his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he presented [and his stairway by which he went up] at the house of the LORD {YHWH}, it took her breath away {ruach}. 5 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words (your achievements) and wisdom is true. 6 But I did not believe the reports until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not half of the greatness of your wisdom was told to me. You have far exceeded the report I heard. 2 Chronicles 9:1-6, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
