The Visit of the Queen of Sheba
1 Now the queen of Sheba had heard of the fame of Solomon regarding the name of Yahweh, and she came to test him with hard questions.
2
So she came to Jerusalem with very great wealth; [with] camels carrying spices, very much gold, and precious stones. She came to Solomon, and she spoke to him all that was on her heart.
3
{Solomon answered all of her questions}; there was not a thing hidden from the king which he could not explain to her.
4
When the queen of Sheba observed all the wisdom of Solomon and the house which he had built,
5
the food of his table, the seat of his servants, the {manner} of his servants and their clothing, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings which he offered in the house of Yahweh, {she was breathless}.
6
Then she said to the king, "The report which I heard in my land was true concerning your accomplishments and your wisdom.
7
I had not believed the report to be true until I came and my eyes had seen, and behold! The half had not been told to me. {Your wisdom and prosperity surpass} the report that I had heard.
8
Happy [are] your men and happy [are] these your servants who stand before you continually hearing your wisdom.
