are these thy slaves, who stand continually before thee and hear thy wisdom.
8
The LORD thy God be blessed, who delighted in thee to set thee on his throne,
to be king for the LORD thy God because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore, he made thee king over them, to do judgment and righteousness.

11

wood had never been seen before in the land of Judah.

13
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
14
besides
that which the traders and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon.
