Romanian Cornilescu Translation

2 Cronici 9:1

Împărăteasa din Seba a auzit de faima lui Solomon, şi a venit la Ierusalim ca să -l încerce prin întrebări grele. Ea avea un alai foarte mare, şi cămile încărcate cu mirodenii, aur mult de tot şi pietre scumpe. S'a dus la Solomon, şi i -a spus tot ce avea pe inimă.

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.
