1
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
2
And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
3
And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not [any] thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
4
And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,
5
And the provisions of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cup-bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to 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 acts and of thy wisdom.
7
Howbeit, I believed not the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen [it]: and behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
