1 Kings 10:6 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 10:6

And she said to the king
When she was a little come to herself:

it was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of
thy wisdom;
which she was ready to call in question when she first heard it; at least she thought it was greatly exaggerated, but now she found it was strictly true.

1 Kings 10:6 In-Context

4 The queen of Sheba heard Solomon's wisdom and saw the palace he had built.

5 She saw the food that was served at his table, the living quarters for his officials, the organization of his palace staff and the uniforms they wore, the servants who waited on him at feasts, and the sacrifices he offered in the Temple. It left her breathless and amazed.

6 She said to King Solomon, "What I heard in my own country about you and your wisdom is true!

7 But I couldn't believe it until I had come and seen it all for myself. But I didn't hear even half of it; your wisdom and wealth are much greater than what I was told.

8 How fortunate are your wives! And how fortunate your servants, who are always in your presence and are privileged to hear your wise sayings!
