Contextual Overview
1 And the queen of Sheba had heard of Solomon's fame. And she came to test Solomon with sharp questions at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels bearing spices, and gold in abundance,and precious stones. And she came in toSolomon and spoke with him all that was in her heart. 2 And Solomon told her all her matters; and there was nothing hidden from Solomon that he did not declare to her. 3 And the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had 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 cupbearers, and their clothing, and his burnt offerings that he offered upin the house of Jehovah; and there was no morespirit in her. 5 And she said to the king, The word that I heard in my land concerning your matters and concerning your wisdom is true. 6 But I had given no credence to their words, until I had come and my eyes had seen. And, behold, there was not declared to me half of the greatness of your wisdom. You exceeded the report that I heard. 7 Oh the happiness of your men, and the happiness of your servants, these who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom! 8 May Jehovah your God be blessed, who has delighted in you, to put you on His throne to be king for Jehovah your God. In the love of your God toward Israel, to make it stand forever,He has put you over them as king, to do judgmentand righteousness. 9 And she gave to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great plenty, and precious stones. And there has not been any spice as that which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon. 10 And also the servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon, who brought in gold from Ophir, brought in algum trees and precious stones.
