Book 11 1 Kings Chapter 010

 

010:001And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon
concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with
hard questions.

 

010:002And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels
that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and
when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all
that was in her heart.

 

010:003And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any
thing hid from the king, which he told her not.

 

010:004And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and
the house that he had built,

 

010:005And 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 the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.

 

010:006And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in
mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.

 

010:007Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes
had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom
and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.

 

010:008Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand
continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.

 

010:009Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set
thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel
for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and
justice.

 

010:010And she gave the king an 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 Sheba gave to king Solomon.

 

010:011And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir,
brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and
precious stones.

 

010:012And 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 singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen
unto this day.

 

010:013And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire,
whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of
his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country,
she and her servants.

 

010:014Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was
six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,

 

010:015Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of
the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of
the governors of the country.

 

010:016And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six
hundred shekels of gold went to one target.

 

010:017And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound
of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house
of the forest of Lebanon.

 

010:018Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid
it with the best gold.

 

010:019The 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.

 

010:020And 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.

 

010:021And 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: it was nothing accounted of in the
days of Solomon.

 

010:022For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of
Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish,
bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

 

010:023So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches
and for wisdom.

 

010:024And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which
God had put in his heart.

 

010:025And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and
vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses,
and mules, a rate year by year.

 

010:026And Solomon 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 Jerusalem.

 

010:027And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and
cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the
vale, for abundance.

 

010:028And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn:
the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

 

010:029And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred
shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and
so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of
Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
