AND when the Queen of Sheva heard of the fame of Shalomah concerning the name of Yahuah, she came to prove him with hard questions.
And she came to Yerushalayim with a very great train, with camels that bore spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to El-Shalomah, she communed with him of את all that was in her heart.
And Shalomah told her all her questions: there was not anything hid from the king, which he told her not.
And when the Queen of Sheva had seen את all Shalomah's wisdom, and the house that he had built,
And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of Yahuah; there was no more ruach in her.
And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.
Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: your wisdom and prosperity exceeds the fame which I heard.
Happy are your men, happy are these your servants, which stand continually before you, and that hear your wisdom.
Blessed be Yahuah Elohayka, which delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Yashar'el: because Yahuah loved Yashar'el forever, therefore made he you king, to do judgment and justice.
And she gave the king a hundred and 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 Shalomah.
And the navy also of Chiyram, that brought gold from Ophiyr, brought in from Ophiyr great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.
And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of Yahuah, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.
And King Shalomah gave unto the Queen of Sheva all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Shalomah gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.
Now the weight of gold that came to Shalomah in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,
Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffic of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arav, and of the governors of the country.
And King Shalomah made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred sheqels of gold went to one target.
And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pounds of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.
And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.
And all King Shalomah'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: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Shalomah.
For the king had at sea a navy of Tarshiysh with the navy of Chiyram: once in three years came the navy of Tarshiysh, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
So King Shalomah exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
And all the earth sought to Shalomah, to hear his wisdom, which Elohiym had put in his heart.
And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
And Shalomah gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Yerushalayim.
And the king made silver to be in Yerushalayim as stones, and את cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the valley, for abundance.
And Shalomah had horses brought out of Mitsrayim, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
And a chariot came up and went out of Mitsrayim for six hundred sheqels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Chittiym, and for the kings of Aram, did they bring them out by their means.
