1 Kings 10:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 10:8

Happy are thy men
The men of Israel, that had a king over them so wise, so great, so good:

happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and
hear thy wisdom;
who were now present, and to whom she pointed, and may respect not his nobles and courtiers only, but his menial servants, who had an opportunity of often hearing the wise sayings which dropped from his lips; and which no doubt were means of greatly improving their knowledge and understanding in things natural and divine.

1 Kings 10:8 In-Context

6 So she said to King Solomon, "What I heard in my own country about your achievements and wisdom is true.

7 I could not believe it then, but now I have come and seen it with my own eyes. I was not told even half of it! Your wisdom and wealth are much greater than I had heard.

8 Your men and officers are very lucky, because in always serving you, they are able to hear your wisdom.

9 Praise the Lord your God, who was pleased to make you king of Israel. The Lord has constant love for Israel, so he made you king to keep justice and to rule fairly."

10 Then she gave the king about nine thousand pounds of gold and many spices and jewels. No one since that time has brought more spices than the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
