1 Kings 10:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 10:3

And Solomon told her all her questions
Answered them, told her the meaning of everything she inquired about, expounded her riddles, solved her objections, and gave her satisfaction in all things she proposed unto him:

there was not anything hid from the king, which he told her not;
there was not anything, though ever so abstruse and difficult, but what he understood, and gave her a clear and plain solution of.

1 Kings 10:3 In-Context

1 Now the queen of Sheba had heard of the fame of Solomon regarding the name of Yahweh, and she came to test him with hard questions.

2 So she came to Jerusalem with very great wealth; [with] camels carrying spices, very much gold, and precious stones. She came to Solomon, and she spoke to him all that was on her heart.

3 {Solomon answered all of her questions}; there was not a thing hidden from the king which he could not explain to her.

4 When the queen of Sheba observed all the wisdom of Solomon and the house which he had built,

5 the food of his table, the seat of his servants, the {manner} of his servants and their clothing, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings which he offered in the house of Yahweh, {she was breathless}.
