1 The queen of Sheba heard about Solomon’s fame connected with the name of Yahweh and came to test him with difficult questions.
2 She came to Jerusalem with a very large entourage, with camels bearing spices, gold in great abundance, and precious stones. She came to Solomon and spoke to him about everything that was on her mind.
3 So Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for the king to explain to her.
4 When the queen of Sheba observed all of Solomon’s wisdom, the palace he had built,
5 the food at his table, his servants’ residence, his attendants’ service and their attire, his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he offered at the Lord’s temple, it took her breath away.
