2 Chronicles 9:4 In-Context

2 Solomon had answers for all her questions; nothing was too hard for him to explain to her.

3 When the queen of Sheba realized how wise Solomon was, and when she saw the palace he had built,

4 she was overwhelmed. She was also amazed at the food on his tables, the organization of his officials and their splendid clothing, the cup-bearers and their robes, and the burnt offerings Solomon made at the Temple of the LORD .

5 She exclaimed to the king, “Everything I heard in my country about your achievements and wisdom is true!

6 I didn’t believe what was said until I arrived here and saw it with my own eyes. In fact, I had not heard the half of your great wisdom! It is far beyond what I was told.
