1 Now when the queen of Shebaheard about the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalemto test Solomonwith riddles. She had a very large entourage, with camels carrying balsam oil and a large amount of gold and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about everything that was on her heart. 2 Solomon9:2 Lit told her all her wordsanswered all her questions; nothing was hidden from Solomonwhich he did not 9:2 Lit tellexplain to her. 3 When the queen of Shebahad seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house which he had built, 4 the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers and their attire, his cupbearers and their attire, and 9:4 Or his burnt offering which he offeredhis stairway by which he went up to the house of the Lord, she was breathless. 5 Then she said to the king, "It was a true 9:5 Lit wordstory that I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom. 6 But I did not believe their 9:6 Lit wordsstories until I came and my own eyes saw it all. And behold, not even half of the greatness of your wisdom was reported to me. You have surpassed the report that I heard. 7 How 9:7 Or happyblessed are your men, how 9:7 Or happyblessed are these servants of yours, who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom! 8 Blessed be the Lord your God who delighted in you, setting you on His throne as king for the Lord your God; because your God loved Israel, establishing them forever, He made you king over them, to carry out justice and righteousness." 9 Then she gave the king 9:9 About 4.5 tons or 4 metric tons120 talentsof gold and a very great amount of balsam oil and precious stones; there had never been balsam oil like that which the queen of Shebagave King Solomon.
10 The servants of Huramand the servants of Solomonwho brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees and precious stones. 11 From the algum trees the king made steps to the house of the Lord and for the king’s palace, and lyres and harps for the singers; and nothing like them was seen before in the land of Judah.
12 King Solomongave the queen of Shebaher every desire, whatever she requested, besides gifts equal to what she had brought to the king. Then she turned and went to her own land with her servants.
Solomon’s Wealth and Power
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomonin one year was 9:13 About 25 tons or 23 metric tons666 talentsof gold, 14 besides what the traders and merchants brought; and all the kings of Arabiaand the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon. 15 King Solomonmade two hundred large shields of beaten gold, 9:15 Lit he brought upusing six hundred shekelsof beaten gold on each large shield. 16 He made three hundred shields of beaten gold, 9:16 Lit he brought upusing three hundred shekelsof gold on each shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17 Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. 18 There were six steps to the throne and a footstool in gold attached to the throne, and 9:18 Lit handsarms 9:18 Lit from this and from this at the place of the seaton each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the 9:18 Lit handsarms. 19 Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom. 20 All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanonwere of pure gold; silver was not considered 9:20 Lit anythingvaluable in the days of Solomon. 21 For the king had ships which went to Tarshishwith the servants of Huram; once every three years the ships of Tarshishcame bringing gold and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
22 So King Solomonbecame greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and wisdom. 23 And all the kings of the earth were seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart. 24 They were bringing, each of them his gift: articles of silver and gold, garments, weapons, balsam oil, horses, and mules, so much year by year.
25 Now Solomonhad four thousand stalls for horses and chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, and he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. 26 He was ruler over all the kings from the Euphrates Riverto the land of the Philistines, and as far as the border of Egypt. 27 And the king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and he made cedars as plentiful as sycamore trees that are in the 9:27 Heb shephelahlowland. 28 And they were bringing horses for Solomonfrom Egyptand from all countries.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, from the first to the last, are they not written in the 9:29 Lit wordsrecords of Nathanthe prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijahthe Shilonite, and in the visions of 9:29 Heb JedoIddothe seer concerning Jeroboamthe son of Nebat? 30 Solomonreigned in Jerusalemover all Israel for forty years.
