2 Chronicles 9:1-8 ▼

1 And the queen of Sheba has heard of the fame of Solomon, and comes to Jerusalem to try Solomon with acute sayings, with a very great company, and camels carrying spices and gold in abundance, and precious stone; and she comes to Solomon, and speaks with him all that has been with her heart,

2 and Solomon declares all her matters to her, and there has not been hid a thing from Solomon that he has not declared to her.

3 And the queen of Sheba sees the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he has built,

4 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his stewards, and their clothing, and his burnt-offering that he offered up in the house of YHWH, and there has not been anymore spirit in her.

5 And she says to the king, “The word [is] true that I heard in my land concerning your matters and concerning your wisdom,

6 and I have given no credence to their words until I have come and my eyes see, and behold, there has not been declared to me the half of the abundance of your wisdom—you have added to the report that I heard.

7 O the blessedness of your men, and the blessedness of your servants—these—who are standing before you continually, and hearing your wisdom.

8 Let your God YHWH be blessed who has delighted in you to put you on His throne for king for your God YHWH; in the love of your God to Israel, to establish it for all time, He has put you over them for king, to do judgment and righteousness.”
