Chapter 10
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.
2
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.
3
And
Solomon
told
her
all
her
questions:
there
was
not
any
thing
hid
from
the
king,
which
he
told
her
not.
4
And
when
the
queen
of
Sheba
had
seen
all
Solomon’s
wisdom,
and
the
house
that
he
had
built,
5
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.
6
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.
7
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.
8
Happy
are
thy
men,
happy
are
these
thy
servants,
which
stand
continually
before
thee,
and
that
hear
thy
wisdom.
9
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.
10
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.
11
And
the
navy
also
of
Hiram,
that
brought
gold
from
Ophir,
brought
in
from
Ophir
great
plenty
of
almug
trees,
and
precious
stones.
12
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.
13
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.
14
Now
the
weight
of
gold
that
came
to
Solomon
in
one
year
was
six
hundred
threescore
and
six
talents
of
gold,
15
Beside
that
he
had
of
the
merchantmen,
and
of
the
traffick
of
the
spice
merchants,
and
of
all
the
kings
of
Arabia,
and
of
the
governors
of
the
country.
16
And
king
Solomon
made
two
hundred
targets
of
beaten
gold:
six
hundred
shekels
of
gold
went
to
one
target.
17
And
he
made
three
hundred
shields
of
beaten
gold;
three
pound
of
gold
went
to
one
shield:
and
the
king
put
them
in
the
house
of
the
forest
of
Lebanon.
18
Moreover
the
king
made
a
great
throne
of
ivory,
and
overlaid
it
with
the
best
gold.
19
The
throne
had
six
steps,
and
the
top
of
the
throne
was
round
behind:
and
there
were
stays
on
either
side
on
the
place
of
the
seat,
and
two
lions
stood
beside
the
stays.
20
And
twelve
lions
stood
there
on
the
one
side
and
on
the
other
upon
the
six
steps:
there
was
not
the
like
made
in
any
kingdom.
21
And
all
king
Solomon’s
drinking
vessels
were
of
gold,
and
all
the
vessels
of
the
house
of
the
forest
of
Lebanon
were
of
pure
gold;
none
were
of
silver:
it
was
nothing
accounted
of
in
the
days
of
Solomon.
22
For
the
king
had
at
sea
a
navy
of
Tharshish
with
the
navy
of
Hiram:
once
in
three
years
came
the
navy
of
Tharshish,
bringing
gold,
and
silver,
ivory,
and
apes,
and
peacocks.
23
So
king
Solomon
exceeded
all
the
kings
of
the
earth
for
riches
and
for
wisdom.
24
And
all
the
earth
sought
to
Solomon,
to
hear
his
wisdom,
which
God
had
put
in
his
heart.
25
And
they
brought
every
man
his
present,
vessels
of
silver,
and
vessels
of
gold,
and
garments,
and
armour,
and
spices,
horses,
and
mules,
a
rate
year
by
year.
26
And
Solomon
gathered
together
chariots
and
horsemen:
and
he
had
a
thousand
and
four
hundred
chariots,
and
twelve
thousand
horsemen,
whom
he
bestowed
in
the
cities
for
chariots,
and
with
the
king
at
Jerusalem.
27
And
the
king
made
silver
to
be
in
Jerusalem
as
stones,
and
cedars
made
he
to
be
as
the
sycomore
trees
that
are
in
the
vale,
for
abundance.
28
And
Solomon
had
horses
brought
out
of
Egypt,
and
linen
yarn:
the
king’s
merchants
received
the
linen
yarn
at
a
price.
29
And
a
chariot
came
up
and
went
out
of
Egypt
for
six
hundred
shekels
of
silver,
and
an
horse
for
an
hundred
and
fifty:
and
so
for
all
the
kings
of
the
Hittites,
and
for
the
kings
of
Syria,
did
they
bring
them
out
by
their
means.
