Summary
The Queen of Sheba comes to see the wisdom of King Solomon.

I Kings 10:1-10

10:1. The queen of Sheba having heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, came to try him with hard questions.

10:2. Entering into Jerusalem with a great train, and riches, and camels that carried spices, and an immense quantity of gold, and precious stones, she came to king Solomon, and spoke to him all that she had in her heart.

10:3. Solomon informed her of all the things she proposed to him: there was not any word the king was ignorant of, and which he could not answer her.

10:4. When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,

10:5. And the meat of his table, and the apartments of his servants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts, which he offered in the house of the Lord, she had no longer any spirit in her;

10:6. And she said to the king: The report is true, which I heard in my own country,

'''10:7. Concerning thy words, and concerning thy wisdom. And I did not believe them that told me, until I came myself, and saw with my own eyes, and have found that the half has not been told me: your wisdom and your works exceed the fame which I heard.'''

10:8. Blessed are your men, and blessed are your servants, who stand before you always, and hear your wisdom.

10:9. Blessed be the Lord your God, whom you have pleased, and who has set you upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord has loved Israel forever, and has appointed you king, to do judgment and justice.

10:10. She gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great store, and precious stones: there was brought no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
