4. And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon’s wisdom and the house that he had built,
5. likewise the food of his table and the sitting of his slaves and the attendance of his ministers and their apparel, and his butlers and his burnt offering which he sacrificed in 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 my own land of thy words and of thy wisdom.
7. But I did not believe it until I came, and my eyes have seen that not even the half was told me. Thy wisdom and good exceeds the fame which I heard.
8. Blessed are thy men, blessed are these thy slaves, who stand continually before thee and that hear thy wisdom.
9. Blessed be the Lord thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel; because the Lord has always loved Israel, therefore he made thee king, to do justice and righteousness.
10. And she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold and a very great store of spices and precious stones; never again did there come such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
