1 When the queen of Sheba heard about Solomon, she came to challenge him with difficult questions.
2 She arrived in Jerusalem with a great display of pomp, bringing with her camels carrying spices, a very large quantity of gold, and precious gems. She visited Solomon and discussed with him everything that was on her mind.
3 Solomon answered all her questions; there was no question too complex for the king.
4 When the queen of Sheba saw for herself Solomon’s extensive wisdom, the palace he had built,
5 the food in his banquet hall, his servants and attendants, their robes, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings which he presented in the Lord’s temple, she was amazed.
