2 Chronicles 9:5 In-Context

3 And when she had seen these things, to wit, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
4 And the meats of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the attendance of his officers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their garments, and the victims which he offered in the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her, she was so astonished.
5 And she said to the king: The word is true which I heard in my country of thy virtues and wisdom.
6 I did not believe them that told it, until I came, and my eyes had seen, and I had proved that scarce one half of thy wisdom had been told me: thou hast exceeded the same with thy virtues.
7 Happy are thy men, and happy are thy servants, who stand always before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
