Queen of Sheba
1 When the queen of Sheba heard reports about Solomon, due to the LORD's name, she came to test him with riddles.
2
Accompanying her to Jerusalem was a huge entourage with camels carrying spices, a large amount of gold, and precious stones. After she arrived, she told Solomon everything that was on her mind.
3
Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for him to answer.
4
When the queen of Sheba saw how wise Solomon was, the palace he had built,
5
the food on his table, the servants' quarters, the function and dress of his attendants, his cupbearers, and the entirely burned offerings that he offered at the LORD's temple, it took her breath away.
6
"The report I heard about your deeds and wisdom when I was still at home is true," she said to the king.
7
"I didn't believe it until I came and saw it with my own eyes. In fact, the half of it wasn't even told to me! You have far more wisdom and wealth than I was told.
8
Your people and these servants who continually serve you and get to listen to your wisdom are truly happy!
