Et elle donna au roi cent vingt talents d'or, et une très grande quantité d'aromates, et des pierres précieuses; et il n'y eut plus d'aromates tels que ceux que la reine de Shéba donna au roi Salomon.
Elle donna au roi cent vingt talents d'or, une très grande quantité d'aromates et des pierres précieuses. Il n'y eut plus d'aromates tels que ceux donnés au roi Salomon par la reine de Séba.
Puis elle donna au Roi six vingts talents d'or, et des choses aromatiques en abondance, et des pierres précieuses; et jamais il n'y eut depuis cela de telles choses aromatiques, que celles que la reine de Séba donna au Roi Salomon.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
she gave: 2 Chronicles 9:24, 1 Kings 9:14, 1 Kings 10:10, Psalms 72:10, Psalms 72:15
of spices: 2 Chronicles 9:1, Genesis 43:11, Exodus 30:34
Sheba: This queen is called Balkis by the Arabians, who say she came from the city of Sheba, also called Mareb, in Yemen or Arabia Felix; but the Ethiopians call her Maqueda, claim her as their sovereign, and say that her posterity reigned there for a long time. Mr. Bruce has given us the history of her and her descendants from Abyssinian records; and Josephus says that Sheba was the ancient name of the city of Meroe - south of Egypt, and sometimes comprehended in Ethiopia and that this princess came from thence. Those who think the princess came from Arabia, rely chiefly on the fact that gold, silver, spices, and precious stones, which were the presents she made to Solomon, are the natural products of that country; and that it may well be placed at the uttermost part of the earth, as it borders on the southern ocean, and formerly they knew no land beyond it.

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, “stairs†(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: “Beside that which the king had brought for her;†which is in conformity with 1 Kings 10:13.
