Melachim Alef 10:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 10:13

And King Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire,
whatsoever she asked
Some curious things she saw, and was desirous of, she asked for, and had them:

besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty;
of his own good will and pleasure, without asking:

so she turned and went to her own country:
the country of Sheba in Arabia Felix:

she and her sergeants:
the train or retinue she brought with her, which was large, ( 1 Kings 10:2 ) .

Melachim Alef 10:13 In-Context

11 And the fleet of oniyyot also of Chiram, that brought zahav from Ophir, brought in from Ophir a vast supply of almug wood, and precious gems.

12 And HaMelech made of the almug wood misad (steps, support) for the Beis Hashem, and for the Bais HaMelech, kinnorot (harps) also and nevalim (lyres) for the singers; there came no such almug wood, nor were seen unto this day.

13 And HaMelech Sh’lomo gave unto the Malkah of Sheva all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that which Sh’lomo gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her avadim.

14 Now the weight of zahav that came to Sh’lomo in one year was 666 talents of zahav,

15 This was in addition to what he had of the anashei hatarim (merchants), and of the income of traders, and of all the Melachim of Arabia, and of the Governors of the land.
