1 Kings 10:4
When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
1 Kings 10:5
the food of his table, the sitting of his servants, the attendance of his officials, their clothing, his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to Yahweh’s house, there was no more spirit in her.
1 Kings 10:6
She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.
1 Kings 10:7
However, I didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
1 Kings 10:8
Happy are your men, happy are these your servants who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.

1 Kings 10:1
When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning Yahweh’s name, she came to test him with hard questions.
1 Kings 10:2
She came to Jerusalem with a very great caravan, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
1 Kings 10:3
Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her.
1 Kings 10:10
She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was there such an abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
1 Kings 10:11
The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought in from Ophir great quantities of almug trees and precious stones.
1 Kings 10:12
The king made of the almug trees pillars for Yahweh’s house and for the king’s house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers; no such almug trees came or were seen to this day.
1 Kings 10:13
King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, in addition to that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
