1. When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to test Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great caravan, including camels that bore spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. When she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
2. Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from Solomon which he didn’t tell her.
3. When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
4. the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers, their clothing, his cup bearers also, their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to the Lord’s house; there was no more spirit in her.
5. She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.
6. However I didn’t believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom wasn’t told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!
