Book 14 2 Chronicles Chapter 009

 

009:001And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she
came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a
very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in
abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to
Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.

 

009:002And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing
hid from Solomon which he told her not.

 

009:003And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon,
and the house that he had built,

 

009:004And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants,
and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his
cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he
went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit
in her.

 

009:005And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard
in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom:

 

009:006Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine
eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness
of thy wisdom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame
that I heard.

 

009:007Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which
stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.

 

009:008Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee to set
thee on his throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because
thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore
made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.

 

009:009And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold,
and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither
was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king
Solomon.

 

009:010And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon,
which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and
precious stones.

 

009:011And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of
the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries
for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land
of Judah.

 

009:012And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire,
whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto
the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she
and her servants.

 

009:013Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was
six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;

 

009:014Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the
kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and
silver to Solomon.

 

009:015And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six
hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target.

 

009:016And three hundred shields made he of beaten gold: three
hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king put
them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

 

009:017Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid
it with pure gold.

 

009:018And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of
gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each
side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the
stays:

 

009:019And 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.

 

009:020And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon 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 not any thing accounted
of in the days of Solomon.

 

009:021For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of
Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish
bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

 

009:022And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches
and wisdom.

 

009:023And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon,
to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.

 

009:024And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and
vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and
mules, a rate year by year.

 

009:025And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots,
and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot
cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

 

009:026And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the
land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.

 

009:027And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar
trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the low plains
in abundance.

 

009:028And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of
all lands.

 

009:029Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they
not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the
prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo
the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?

 

009:030And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.

 

009:031And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the
city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his
stead.
