Contextual Overview
1When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with riddles. She was accompanied by a very large number of attendants, with camels bearing spices (balsam oil) and a large amount of gold and precious stones. And when she came to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was on her mind. 2Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was hidden from him which he did not make clear to her. 3So when the queen of Sheba saw the [depth of] Solomon's wisdom, and the house which he had built,4and the food of his table, the [vast] seating order of his officials, the attendance and service of his ministers and their attire, his cupbearers and their attire, and his stairway by which he went up to the house of the LORD, she was breathless. 5She said to the king, "The report which I heard in my own land regarding your [accomplishments and your] words and your wisdom was true, 6but I did not believe the reports until I came and saw it with my own eyes. Behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told to me; you have surpassed the report that I heard. 7"Blessed and fortunate are your people, how blessed and fortunate are these servants of yours who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom! 8"Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, setting you on His throne as king for the LORD your God; because your God loved Israel, establishing them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness." 9Then she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, a very large amount of spices (balsam oil) and precious stones; there was no such spice [anywhere] like that which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon. 10The servants of Huram and those of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought almug trees and precious stones.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The narrative here is parallel with that in marginal reference, from which it varies but little, and to which it adds nothing.
2 Chronicles 9:11
Terraces - Rather, as in the margin, âstairsâ (see the 1 Kings 10:12 note).
2 Chronicles 9:12
Beside that which she had brought unto the king - It is difficult to assign any sense to these words as they now stand in the Hebrew text. A slight alteration will give the meaning: âBeside that which the king had brought for her;â which is in conformity with 1 Kings 10:13.
