Dual Panel1And when the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> heard <08085> (8804) of the fame <08088> of Solomon <08010>_, she came <0935> (8799) to prove <05254> (8763) Solomon <08010> with hard questions <02420> at Jerusalem <03389>_, with a very <03966> great <03515> company <02428>_, and camels <01581> that bare <05375> (8802) spices <01314>_, and gold <02091> in abundance <07230>_, and precious <03368> stones <068>_: and when she was come <0935> (8799) to Solomon <08010>_, she communed <01696> (8762) with him of all that was in her heart <03824>_.
2And Solomon <08010> told <05046> (8686) her all her questions <01697>_: and there was nothing hid <05956> (8738) from Solomon <08010> which he told <05046> (8689) her not.
3And when the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> had seen <07200> (8799) the wisdom <02451> of Solomon <08010>_, and the house <01004> that he had built <01129> (8804)_,
4And the meat <03978> of his table <07979>_, and the sitting <04186> of his servants <05650>_, and the attendance <04612> of his ministers <08334> (8764)_, and their apparel <04403>_; his cupbearers <08248> (8688) also, and their apparel <04403>_; and his ascent <05944> by which he went up <05927> (8799) into the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_; there was no more spirit <07307> in her. {cupbearers: or, butlers}
5And she said <0559> (8799) to the king <04428>_, [It was] a true <0571> report <01697> which I heard <08085> (8804) in mine own land <0776> of thine acts <01697>_, and of thy wisdom <02451>_: {report: Heb. word} {acts: or, sayings}
6Howbeit I believed <0539> (8689) not their words <01697>_, until I came <0935> (8804)_, and mine eyes <05869> had seen <07200> (8799) [it]: and, behold, the one half <02677> of the greatness <04768> of thy wisdom <02451> was not told <05046> (8717) me: [for] thou exceedest <03254> (8804) the fame <08052> that I heard <08085> (8804)_.
7Happy <0835> [are] thy men <0582>_, and happy <0835> [are] these thy servants <05650>_, which stand <05975> (8802) continually <08548> before <06440> thee, and hear <08085> (8802) thy wisdom <02451>_.
8Blessed <01288> (8803) be the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>_, which delighted <02654> (8804) in thee to set <05414> (8800) thee on his throne <03678>_, [to be] king <04428> for the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>_: because thy God <0430> loved <0160> Israel <03478>_, to establish <05975> (8687) them for ever <05769>_, therefore made <05414> (8799) he thee king <04428> over them, to do <06213> (8800) judgment <04941> and justice <06666>_.
9And she gave <05414> (8799) the king <04428> an hundred <03967> and twenty <06242> talents <03603> of gold <02091>_, and of spices <01314> great <03966> abundance <07230>_, and precious <03368> stones <068>_: neither was there any such spice <01314> as the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> gave <05414> (8804) king <04428> Solomon <08010>_.
10And the servants <05650> also of Huram <02361>_, and the servants <05650> of Solomon <08010>_, which brought <0935> (8689) gold <02091> from Ophir <0211>_, brought <0935> (8689) algum <0418> trees <06086> and precious <03368> stones <068>_. {algum...: also called, almug trees}
11And the king <04428> made <06213> (8799) [of] the algum <0418> trees <06086> terraces <04546> to the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>_, and to the king's <04428> palace <01004>_, and harps <03658> and psalteries <05035> for singers <07891> (8802)_: and there were none such <01992> seen <07200> (8738) before <06440> in the land <0776> of Judah <03063>_. {terraces: or, stairs: Heb. highways}
12And king <04428> Solomon <08010> gave <05414> (8804) to the queen <04436> of Sheba <07614> all her desire <02656>_, whatsoever she asked <07592> (8804)_, beside [that] which she had brought <0935> (8689) unto the king <04428>_. So she turned <02015> (8799)_, and went away <03212> (8799) to her own land <0776>_, she and her servants <05650>_.
13Now the weight <04948> of gold <02091> that came <0935> (8804) to Solomon <08010> in one <0259> year <08141> was six <08337> hundred <03967> and threescore <08346> and six <08337> talents <03603> of gold <02091>_;
14Beside [that which] chapmen <0582> <08446> (8802) and merchants <05503> (8802) brought <0935> (8688)_. And all the kings <04428> of Arabia <06152> and governors <06346> of the country <0776> brought <0935> (8688) gold <02091> and silver <03701> to Solomon <08010>_. {governors: or, captains}
15And king <04428> Solomon <08010> made <06213> (8799) two hundred <03967> targets <06793> [of] beaten <07820> (8803) gold <02091>_: six <08337> hundred <03967> [shekels] of beaten <07820> (8803) gold <02091> went <05927> (8686) to one <0259> target <06793>_.

And the king <04428> put <05414> (8799) them in the house <01004> of the forest <03293> of Lebanon <03844>_.
17Moreover the king <04428> made <06213> (8799) a great <01419> throne <03678> of ivory <08127>_, and overlaid <06823> (8762) it with pure <02889> gold <02091>_.
18And [there were] six <08337> steps <04609> to the throne <03678>_, with a footstool <03534> of gold <02091>_, [which were] fastened <0270> (8716) to the throne <03678>_, and stays <03027> on each side of the sitting <03427> (8800) place <04725>_, and two <08147> lions <0738> standing <05975> (8802) by <0681> the stays <03027>_: {stays: Heb. hands}
19And twelve <08147> <06240> lions <0738> stood <05975> (8802) there on the one side and on the other upon the six <08337> steps <04609>_. There was not the like made <06213> (8738) in any kingdom <04467>_.
20And all the drinking <04945> vessels <03627> of king <04428> Solomon <08010> [were of] gold <02091>_, and all the vessels <03627> of the house <01004> of the forest <03293> of Lebanon <03844> [were of] pure <05462> (8803) gold <02091>_: none [were of] silver <03701>_; it was [not] any <03972> thing accounted <02803> (8737) of in the days <03117> of Solomon <08010>_. {pure: Heb. shut up} {none were of silver: or, there was no silver in them}
21For the king's <04428> ships <0591> went <01980> (8802) to Tarshish <08659> with the servants <05650> of Huram <02361>_: every three <07969> years <08141> once <0259> came <0935> (8799) the ships <0591> of Tarshish <08659> bringing <05375> (8802) gold <02091>_, and silver <03701>_, ivory <08143>_, and apes <06971>_, and peacocks <08500>_. {ivory: or, elephants' teeth}
22And king <04428> Solomon <08010> passed <01431> (8799) all the kings <04428> of the earth <0776> in riches <06239> and wisdom <02451>_.
23And all the kings <04428> of the earth <0776> sought <01245> (8764) the presence <06440> of Solomon <08010>_, to hear <08085> (8800) his wisdom <02451>_, that God <0430> had put <05414> (8804) in his heart <03820>_.
24And they brought <0935> (8688) every man <0376> his present <04503>_, vessels <03627> of silver <03701>_, and vessels <03627> of gold <02091>_, and raiment <08008>_, harness <05402>_, and spices <01314>_, horses <05483>_, and mules <06505>_, a rate <01697> year <08141> by year <08141>_.

26And he reigned <04910> (8802) over all the kings <04428> from the river <05104> even unto the land <0776> of the Philistines <06430>_, and to the border <01366> of Egypt <04714>_. {river: that is, Euphrates}
27And the king <04428> made <05414> (8799) silver <03701> in Jerusalem <03389> as stones <068>_, and cedar trees <0730> made <05414> (8804) he as the sycomore trees <08256> that [are] in the low plains <08219> in abundance <07230>_. {made silver: Heb. gave silver}
