1 Kings 10:1
King James Version
10 And 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.
I had not known Solomon met Sheba.
Up until starting this blog.
Now, we all know.
Scripture testifies of it.
1 Kings 10:2-13
King James Version
2 And 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.
3 And Solomon told her all her questions:
there was not any thing hid from the king,
which he told her not.
4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen
all Solomon's wisdom,
and the house that he had built,
5 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 the Lord;
there was no more spirit in her.
6 And she said to the king,
It was a true report that I heard in mine own land
of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
7 Howbeit 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.
8 Happy are thy men,
happy are these thy servants,
which stand continually before thee,
and that hear thy wisdom.
9 Blessed 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.
10 And 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.
11 And the navy also of Hiram,
that brought gold from Ophir,
brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees,
and precious stones.
12 And 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.
13 And 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.
With all this wisdom, and wealth, what did Solomon do for GOD?
The next post tells more about that.
