2 Chronicles 9:2-9 Amplified Bible (AMP)

2. And Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing hidden from [him] which he was unable to make clear to her.

3. And when the queen of Sheba had seen Solomon's wisdom, the house he had built,

4. The food of his table, the seating of his officials, the [standing at] attention of his servants, their apparel, his cupbearers also and their apparel, and his burnt offerings which he offered at the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.

5. She said to the king, The report which I heard in my own land of your acts and sayings and of your wisdom was true,

6. But I did not believe their words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me; you surpass the fame that I heard of you.

7. Happy are your wives and men, and happy are these your servants who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!

8. Blessed be the Lord your God, Who delighted in you and set you on His throne to be king for the Lord your God! Because your God loved Israel and would establish them forever, He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.

9. She gave the king 120 talents of gold, a very large quantity of spices, and precious stones; such spice was not anywhere as that which the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.
