When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,

and the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their attire, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings which he offered at the house of the LORD, ^(F1)she was breathless.

Then she said to the king, "It was a true ^(F1)story that I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom.

"But I did not believe the ^(F1)stories until I came and my own eyes saw it all. And behold, the half of it was not reported to me. You have exceeded in wisdom and prosperity the report which I heard.

"^(C1)Blessed are your men, and blessed are these servants of yours who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom!

"^(C1)Blessed be the LORD your God who delighted in you to put you on the throne of Israel; ^(C2)because the LORD loves Israel forever, He made you king, ^(C3)to do justice and righteousness."
