2 Chronicles 9:7 In-Context

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.

7 How happy your people must be! What a privilege for your officials to stand here day after day, listening to your wisdom!

8 Praise the LORD your God, who delights in you and has placed you on the throne as king to rule for him. Because God loves Israel and desires this kingdom to last forever, he has made you king over them so you can rule with justice and righteousness.”

9 Then she gave the king a gift of 9,000 pounds of gold, great quantities of spices, and precious jewels. Never before had there been spices as fine as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
