2 Chronicles 9:5-14 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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.

10. The servants of Huram and [those] of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees and precious stones.

11. The king made of the algum trees terraces or walks to the house of the Lord and to the king's palace, and lyres and harps for the singers; none such had ever been seen before in the land of Judah.

12. And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides what she had brought to the king. So she with her servants returned to her own land.

13. Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents,

14. Besides what traders and merchants brought; and all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
