2 Chronik 9:1

Und als die Königin von Saba das Gerücht von Salomo hörte, kam sie, um Salomo mit Rätseln zu erproben, nach Jerusalem mit einem sehr großen Gefolge und mit Kamelen, die Gewürz und Gold in Menge und Edelsteine trugen. Und als sie zu Salomo kam, redete sie mit ihm alles, was sie in ihrem Herzen hatte.

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.
