2 Chronicles 9:1-9

2 Chronicles 9:1-9

[1] And when the queen  of Sheba  heard  of the fame  of Solomon,  she came  to prove  Solomon  with hard questions  at Jerusalem,  with a very  great  company,  and camels  that bare  spices,  and gold  in abundance,  and precious  stones:  and when she was come  to Solomon,  she communed  with him of all that was in her heart.  [2] And Solomon  told  her all her questions:  and there was nothing hid  from Solomon  which he told  her not. [3] And when the queen  of Sheba  had seen  the wisdom  of Solomon,  and the house  that he had built,  [4] And the meat  of his table,  and the sitting  of his servants,  and the attendance  of his ministers,  and their apparel;  by which he went up  into the house  of the LORD;  there was no more spirit  in her. [5] And she said  to the king,  It was a true  report  which I heard  in mine own land  of thine acts,  and of thy wisdom:  [6] Howbeit I believed  not their words,  until I came,  and mine eyes  had seen  it: and, behold, the one half  of the greatness  of thy wisdom  was not told  me: for thou exceedest  the fame  that I heard.  [7] Happy  are these thy servants,  which stand  continually  before  thee, and hear  thy wisdom.  [8] Blessed  thy God,  which delighted  in thee to set  thee on his throne,  to be king  thy God:  loved  Israel,  to establish  them for ever,  therefore made  he thee king  over them, to do  judgment  and justice.  [9] And she gave  the king  an hundred  and twenty  talents  of gold,  and of spices  great  abundance,  and precious  stones:  neither was there any such spice  as the queen  of Sheba  gave  king  Solomon.
