She said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.
7
However I didn't believe the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me; your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
8
Happy are your men, happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, [and] who hear your wisdom.

Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Yisra'el: because the LORD loved Yisra'el forever, therefore made he you king, to do justice and righteousness.

She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheva gave to king Shlomo.
11
The navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ofir, brought in from Ofir great plenty of almug trees and precious stones.
12
The king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for the singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen, to this day.

King Shlomo gave to the queen of Sheva all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which Shlomo gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
14
Now the weight of gold that came to Shlomo in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
15
besides [that which] the traders [brought], and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed people, and of the governors of the country.
16
King Shlomo made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred [shekels] of gold went to one buckler.
