1 Kings 10

English Standard Version ESV

1 Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord, she came to test him with hard questions.

2 She came to Jerusalem with a very great retinue, with camels bearing spices and very much gold and precious stones. And when she came to Solomon, she told him all that was on her mind.

3 And Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing hidden from the king that he could not explain to her.

4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,

5 the food of his table, the seating of his officials, and the attendance of his servants, their clothing, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings that he offered at the house of the Lord, there was no more breath in her.

6 And she said to the king, “The report was true that I heard in my own land of your words and of your wisdom,

7 but I did not believe the reports until I came and my own eyes had seen it. And behold, the half was not told me. Your wisdom and prosperity surpass the report that I heard.

8 Happy are your men! Happy are your servants, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom!

9 Blessed be the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and set you on the throne of Israel! Because the Lord loved Israel forever, he has made you king, that you may execute justice and righteousness. ”

10 Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices and precious stones. Never again came such an abundance of spices as these that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

11 Moreover, the fleet of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir a very great amount of almug wood and precious stones.

12 And the king made of the almug wood supports for the house of the Lord and for the king’s house, also lyres and harps for the singers. No such almug wood has come or been seen to this day.

13 And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all that she desired, whatever she asked besides what was given her by the bounty of King Solomon. So she turned and went back to her own land with her servants.

14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,

15 besides that which came from the explorers and from the business of the merchants, and from all the kings of the west and from the governors of the land.

16 King Solomon made 200 large shields of beaten gold; 600 shekels of gold went into each shield.

17 And he made 300 shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

18 The king also made a great ivory throne and overlaid it with the finest gold.

19 The throne had six steps, and the throne had a round top, and on each side of the seat were armrests and two lions standing beside the armrests,

20 while twelve lions stood there, one on each end of a step on the six steps. The like of it was never made in any kingdom.

21 All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver; silver was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon.

22 For the king had a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years the fleet of ships of Tarshish used to come bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.

23 Thus King Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.

24 And the whole earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put into his mind.

25 Every one of them brought his present, articles of silver and gold, garments, myrrh, spices, horses, and mules, so much year by year.

26 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

27 And the king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stone, and he made cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephelah.

28 And Solomon’s import of horses was from Egypt and Kue, and the king’s traders received them from Kue at a price.

29 A chariot could be imported from Egypt for 600 shekels of silver and a horse for 150, and so through the king’s traders they were exported to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 sed et regina Saba audita fama Salomonis in nomine Domini venit temptare eum in enigmatibus

2 et ingressa Hierusalem multo comitatu et divitiis camelis portantibus aromata et aurum infinitum nimis et gemmas pretiosas venit ad Salomonem et locuta est ei universa quae habebat in corde suo

3 et docuit eam Salomon omnia verba quae proposuerat non fuit sermo qui regem posset latere et non responderet ei

4 videns autem regina Saba omnem sapientiam Salomonis et domum quam aedificaverat

5 et cibos mensae eius et habitacula servorum et ordinem ministrantium vestesque eorum et pincernas et holocausta quae offerebat in domo Domini non habebat ultra spiritum

6 dixitque ad regem verus est sermo quem audivi in terra mea

7 super sermonibus tuis et super sapientia tua et non credebam narrantibus mihi donec ipsa veni et vidi oculis meis et probavi quod media pars mihi nuntiata non fuerit maior est sapientia et opera tua quam rumor quem audivi

8 beati viri tui et beati servi tui hii qui stant coram te semper et audiunt sapientiam tuam

9 sit Dominus Deus tuus benedictus cui placuisti et posuit te super thronum Israhel eo quod dilexerit Dominus Israhel in sempiternum et constituit te regem ut faceres iudicium et iustitiam

10 dedit ergo regi centum viginti talenta auri et aromata multa nimis et gemmas pretiosas non sunt adlata ultra aromata tam multa quam ea quae dedit regina Saba regi Salomoni

11 sed et classis Hiram quae portabat aurum de Ophir adtulit ex Ophir ligna thyina multa nimis et gemmas pretiosas

12 fecitque rex de lignis thyinis fulchra domus Domini et domus regiae et citharas lyrasque cantoribus non sunt adlata huiuscemodi ligna thyina neque visa usque in praesentem diem

13 rex autem Salomon dedit reginae Saba omnia quae voluit et petivit ab eo exceptis his quae ultro obtulerat ei munere regio quae reversa est et abiit in terram suam cum servis suis

14 erat autem pondus auri quod adferebatur Salomoni per annos singulos sescentorum sexaginta sex talentorum auri

15 excepto eo quod offerebant viri qui super vectigalia erant et negotiatores universique scruta vendentes et omnes reges Arabiae ducesque terrae

16 fecit quoque rex Salomon ducenta scuta de auro puro sescentos auri siclos dedit in lamminas scuti unius

17 et trecentas peltas ex auro probato trecentae minae auri unam peltam vestiebant posuitque ea rex in domo silvae Libani

18 fecit etiam rex Salomon thronum de ebore grandem et vestivit eum auro fulvo nimis

19 qui habebat sex gradus et summitas throni rotunda erat in parte posteriori et duae manus hinc atque inde tenentes sedile et duo leones stabant iuxta manus singulas

20 et duodecim leunculi stantes super sex gradus hinc atque inde non est factum tale opus in universis regnis

21 sed et omnia vasa de quibus potabat rex Salomon erant aurea et universa supellex domus saltus Libani de auro purissimo non erat argentum nec alicuius pretii putabatur in diebus Salomonis

22 quia classis regis per mare cum classe Hiram semel per tres annos ibat in Tharsis deferens inde aurum et argentum dentes elefantorum et simias et pavos

23 magnificatus est ergo rex Salomon super omnes reges terrae divitiis et sapientia

24 et universa terra desiderabat vultum Salomonis ut audiret sapientiam eius quam dederat Deus in corde eius

25 et singuli deferebant ei munera vasa argentea et aurea vestes et arma bellica aromata quoque et equos et mulos per annos singulos

26 congregavitque Salomon currus et equites et facti sunt ei mille quadringenti currus et duodecim milia equitum et disposuit eos per civitates munitas et cum rege in Hierusalem

27 fecitque ut tanta esset abundantia argenti in Hierusalem quanta lapidum et cedrorum praebuit multitudinem quasi sycomoros quae nascuntur in campestribus

28 et educebantur equi Salomoni de Aegypto et de Coa negotiatores enim regis emebant de Coa et statuto pretio perducebant

29 egrediebatur autem quadriga ex Aegypto sescentis siclis argenti et equus centum quinquaginta atque in hunc modum cuncti reges Hettheorum et Syriae equos venundabant
