2 Chronicles 9:7 In-Context

5 She said to the king, "The report I heard in my own country about your words and about your wisdom is true.
6 But I didn't believe their reports until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, I was not even told half of your great wisdom! You far exceed the report I heard.
7 How happy are your men. How happy are these servants of yours, who always stand in your presence hearing your wisdom.
8 May the Lord your God be praised! He delighted in you and put you on His throne as king for the Lord your God. Because Your God loved Israel enough to establish them forever, He has set you over them as king to carry out justice and righteousness."
9 Then she gave the king four and a half tons of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. There never were such spices as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
