And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the
name of the Lord, she came to prove him with hard questions. And she came
to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much
gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she
communed with him of all that was in her heart. And Solomon told her all her
questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not. And
when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he
had built, And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the
attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent
by which he went up unto the house of the Lord; there was no more spirit in her.

And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of
thy acts and of thy wisdom. Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and
mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and
prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard. Happy are thy men, happy are
these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy
wisdom. Blessed be the Lord thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on
the throne of Israel: because the Lord loved Israel for ever, therefore made he
thee king, to do judgment and justice.

And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices
very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance
of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. And the
navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great
plenty of almug trees, and precious stones. And the king made of the almug
trees pillars for the house of the Lord, and for the king's house, harps also and
psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto
this day. And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire,
whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty.
So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.
