4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, 5 the food of his table, the seating of his officials, and the attendance of his servants, their clothing, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings that he offered at the house of the Lord, there was no more breath in her.
6 And she said to the king, "The report was true that I heard in my own land of your words and of your wisdom, 7 but I did not believe the reports until I came and my own eyes had seen it. And behold, the half was not told me. Your wisdom and prosperity surpass the report that I heard. 8 e Happy are your men! Happy are your servants, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom! 9 f Blessed be the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and set you on the throne of Israel! g Because the Lord loved Israel forever, he has made you king, h that you may execute justice and righteousness." 10 i Then she gave the king 120 talents 1 of gold, and a very great quantity of spices and precious stones. Never again came such an abundance of spices as these that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
