3
When the queen of Sheba realized how wise Solomon was, and when she saw the palace he had built,
4
she was overwhelmed. She was also amazed at the food on his tables, the organization of his officials and their splendid clothing, the cup-bearers and their robes, and the burnt offerings Solomon made at the Temple of the LORD .
5
She exclaimed to the king, “Everything I heard in my country about your achievements and wisdom is true!
6
I didn’t believe what was said until I arrived here and saw it with my own eyes. In fact, I had not heard the half of your great wisdom! It is far beyond what I was told.
7
How happy your people must be! What a privilege for your officials to stand here day after day, listening to your wisdom!
