1 When the queen of Sheva heard of the fame of Shlomo, she came to prove Shlomo with hard questions at Yerushalayim, with a very great train, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Shlomo, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.
2 Shlomo told her all her questions; and there was not anything hid from Shlomo which he didn't tell her.
3 When the queen of Sheva had seen the wisdom of Shlomo, and the house that he had built,
4 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, his cup bearers also, and their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
5 She said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.
6 However I didn't believe their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and, behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me: you exceed the fame that I heard.
7 Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom.
8 Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on his throne, to be king for the LORD your God: because your God loved Yisra'el, to establish them forever, therefore made he you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.
9 She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheva gave to king Shlomo.
10 The servants also of Huram, and the servants of Shlomo, who brought gold from Ofir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
11 The king made of the algum trees terraces for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, and harps and psalteries for the singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Yehudah.
12 King Shlomo gave to the queen of Sheva all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Shlomo in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
14 besides that which the traders and merchants brought: and all the kings of `Arav and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Shlomo.
15 King Shlomo made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold went to one buckler.
16 [he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred [shekels] of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Levanon.
17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18 nd there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.
19 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.
20 All king Shlomo's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Levanon were of pure gold: silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Shlomo.
21 For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 So king Shlomo exceeded all the kings of the eretz in riches and wisdom.
23 All the kings of the eretz sought the presence of Shlomo, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
24 They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
25 Shlomo had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Yerushalayim.
26 He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Pelishtim, and to the border of Mitzrayim.
27 The king made silver to be in Yerushalayim as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
28 They brought horses for Shlomo out of Mitzrayim, and out of all lands.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Shlomo, first and last, aren't they written in the history of Natan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Achiyah the Shiloni, and in the visions of `Iddo the seer concerning Yarov`am the son of Nevat?
30 Shlomo reigned in Yerushalayim over all Yisra'el forty years.
31 Shlomo slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rechav`am his son reigned in his place.
