[1] When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning Yahweh’s name, she came to test him with hard questions. [2] She came to Jerusalem with a very great caravan, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart. [3] Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her. [4] When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, [5] the food of his table, the sitting of his servants, the attendance of his officials, their clothing, his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to Yahweh’s house, there was no more spirit in her. [6] She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom. [7] However, I didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard. [8] Happy are your men, happy are these your servants who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom. [9] Blessed is Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because Yahweh loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness.” [10] She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was there such an abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon. [11] The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought in from Ophir great quantities of almug treesⓘ and precious stones. [12] The king made of the almug trees pillars for Yahweh’s house and for the king’s house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers; no such almug trees came or were seen to this day. [13] King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, in addition to that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants. [14] Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talentsⓘ of gold, [15] in addition to that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed people, and of the governors of the country. [16] King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekelsⓘ of gold went to one buckler. [17] He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minasⓘ 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 finest gold. [19] There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests. [20] Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. Nothing like it was made in any kingdom. [21] 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, because it was considered of little value in the days of Solomon. [22] For the king had a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet. Once every three years the fleet of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. [23] So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. [24] All the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart. [25] Year after year, every man brought his tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules. [26] Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen. He kept them in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem. [27] The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedars as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland. [28] The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price. [29] A chariot was imported from Egypt for six hundred shekelsⓘ of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty shekels; and so they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Syria.

[1] And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 heardH8085(QalActPtc) of the fameH8088 of SolomonH8010 concerning the nameH8034 of the Lord,H3068 she cameH935(QalImpf) to proveH5254(PielInf) him with hard questions.H2420 [2] And she cameH935(QalImpf) to JerusalemH3389 with a veryH3966 greatH3515 train,H2428 with camelsH1581 that bareH5375(QalActPtc) spices,H1314 and veryH3966 muchH7227 gold,H2091 and preciousH3368 stones:H68 and when she was comeH935(QalImpf) to Solomon,H8010 she communedH1696(PielImpf) with him of all that was in her heart.H3824 [3] And SolomonH8010 toldH5046(HiphImpf) her all her questions:H1697 there was not [any] thingH1697 hidH5956(NiphPtc) from the king,H4428 which he toldH5046(HiphPerf) her not. [4] And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 had seenH7200(QalImpf) all Solomon’sH8010 wisdom,H2451 and the houseH1004 that he had built,H1129(QalPerf) [5] And the meatH3978 of his table,H7979 and the sittingH4186 of his servants,H5650 and the attendanceH4612 of his ministers,H8334(PielPtc) and their apparel,H4403 and his cupbearers,H8248(HiphPtc) and his ascentH5930 by which he went upH5927(QalImpf) unto the houseH1004 of the Lord;H3068 there was no more spiritH7307 in her. [6] And she saidH559(QalImpf) to the king,H4428 It was a trueH571 reportH1697 that I heardH8085(QalPerf) in mine own landH776 of thy actsH1697 and of thy wisdom.H2451 [7] Howbeit I believedH539(HiphPerf) not the words,H1697 until I came,H935(QalPerf) and mine eyesH5869 had seenH7200(QalImpf) [it]: and, behold, the halfH2677 was not toldH5046(HophPerf) me: thy wisdomH2451 and prosperityH2896 exceedethH3254(HiphPerf) the fameH8052 which I heard.H8085(QalPerf) [8] HappyH835 [are] thy men,H582 happyH835 [are] these thy servants,H5650 which standH5975(QalActPtc) continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 thee, [and] that hearH8085(QalActPtc) thy wisdom.H2451 [9] BlessedH1288(QalPasPtc) be the LordH3068 thy God,H430 which delightedH2654(QalPerf) in thee, to setH5414(QalInf) thee on the throneH3678 of Israel:H3478 because the LordH3068 lovedH160 IsraelH3478 for ever,H5769 therefore madeH7760(QalImpf) he thee king,H4428 to doH6213(QalInf) judgmentH4941 and justice.H6666 [10] And she gaveH5414(QalImpf) the kingH4428 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603 of gold,H2091 and of spicesH1314 veryH3966 great store,H7235(HiphInf) and preciousH3368 stones:H68 there cameH935(QalPerf) no more suchH1931 abundanceH7230 of spicesH1314 as these which the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 gaveH5414(QalPerf) to kingH4428 Solomon.H8010 [11] And the navyH590 also of Hiram,H2438 that broughtH5375(QalPerf) goldH2091 from Ophir,H211 brought inH935(HiphPerf) from OphirH211 greatH3966 plentyH7235(HiphInf) of almugH484 trees,H6086 and preciousH3368 stones.H68 [12] And the kingH4428 madeH6213(QalImpf) of the almugH484 treesH6086 pillarsH4552 for the houseH1004 of the Lord,H3068 and for the king’sH4428 house,H1004 harpsH3658 also and psalteriesH5035 for singers:H7891(QalActPtc) there cameH935(QalPerf) no such almugH484 trees,H6086 nor were seenH7200(NiphPerf) unto this day.H3117 [13] And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414(QalPerf) unto the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 all her desire,H2656 whatsoever she asked,H7592(QalPerf) beside [that] which SolomonH8010 gaveH5414(QalPerf) her of his royalH4428 bounty.H3027 So she turnedH6437(QalImpf) and wentH3212(QalImpf) to her own country,H776 she and her servants.H5650 [14] Now the weightH4948 of goldH2091 that cameH935(QalPerf) to SolomonH8010 in oneH259 yearH8141 was sixH8337 hundredH3967 threescoreH8346 and sixH8337 talentsH3603 of gold,H2091 [15] Beside [that he had] of the merchantmen,H582 and of the traffickH4536 of the spice merchants,H7402(QalActPtc) and of all the kingsH4428 of Arabia,H6153 and of the governorsH6346 of the country.H776 [16] And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213(QalImpf) two hundredH3967 targetsH6793 [of] beatenH7820(QalPasPtc) gold:H2091 sixH8337 hundredH3967 [shekels] of goldH2091 wentH5927(HiphImpf) to oneH259 target.H6793 [17] And [he made] threeH7969 hundredH3967 shieldsH4043 [of] beatenH7820(QalPasPtc) gold;H2091 threeH7969 poundH4488 of goldH2091 wentH5927(HiphImpf) to oneH259 shield:H4043 and the kingH4428 putH5414(QalImpf) them in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of Lebanon.H3844 [18] Moreover the kingH4428 madeH6213(QalImpf) a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivory,H8127 and overlaidH6823(PielImpf) it with the bestH6338(HophPtc) gold.H2091 [19] The throneH3678 had sixH8337 steps,H4609 and the topH7218 of the throneH3678 [was] roundH5696 behind:H310 and [there were] staysH3027 on either side on the placeH4725 of the seat,H7675(QalInf) and twoH8147 lionsH738 stoodH5975(QalActPtc) besideH681 the stays.H3027 [20] And twelveH8147 lionsH738 stoodH5975(QalActPtc) there on the one side and on the other upon the sixH8337 steps:H4609 there was not the likeH3651 madeH6213(NiphPerf) in any kingdom.H4467 [21] And all kingH4428 Solomon’sH8010 drinkingH4945 vesselsH3627 [were of] gold,H2091 and all the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844 [were of] pureH5462(QalPasPtc) gold;H2091 none [were of] silver:H3701 it was nothingH3972 accountedH2803(NiphPtc) of in the daysH3117 of Solomon.H8010 [22] For the kingH4428 had at seaH3220 a navyH590 of TharshishH8659 with the navyH590 of Hiram:H2438 onceH259 in threeH7969 yearsH8141 cameH935(QalImpf) the navyH590 of Tharshish,H8659 bringingH5375(QalActPtc) gold,H2091 and silver,H3701 ivory,H8143 and apes,H6971 and peacocks.H8500 [23] So kingH4428 SolomonH8010 exceededH1431(QalImpf) all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 for richesH6239 and for wisdom.H2451 [24] And all the earthH776 soughtH1245(PielPtc) toH6440 Solomon,H8010 to hearH8085(QalInf) his wisdom,H2451 which GodH430 had putH5414(QalPerf) in his heart.H3820 [25] And they broughtH935(HiphPtc) every manH376 his present,H4503 vesselsH3627 of silver,H3701 and vesselsH3627 of gold,H2091 and garments,H8008 and armour,H5402 and spices,H1314 horses,H5483 and mules,H6505 a rateH1697 yearH8141 by year.H8141 [26] And SolomonH8010 gathered togetherH622(QalImpf) chariotsH7393 and horsemen:H6571 and he had a thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967 chariots,H7393 and twelveH8147 thousandH505 horsemen,H6571 whom he bestowedH5148(HiphImpf) in the citiesH5892 for chariots,H7393 and with the kingH4428 at Jerusalem.H3389 [27] And the kingH4428 madeH5414(QalImpf) silverH3701 [to be] in JerusalemH3389 as stones,H68 and cedarsH730 madeH5414(QalPerf) he [to be] as the sycomore treesH8256 that [are] in the vale,H8219 for abundance.H7230 [28] And SolomonH8010 had horsesH5483 broughtH4161 out of Egypt,H4714 and linen yarn:H4723 the king’sH4428 merchantsH5503(QalActPtc) receivedH3947(QalImpf) the linen yarnH4723 at a price.H4242 [29] And a chariotH4818 came upH5927(QalImpf) and went outH3318(QalImpf) of EgyptH4714 for sixH8337 hundredH3967 [shekels] of silver,H3701 and an horseH5483 for an hundredH3967 and fifty:H2572 and so for all the kingsH4428 of the Hittites,H2850 and for the kingsH4428 of Syria,H758 did they bring [them] outH3318(HiphImpf) by their means.H3027
