3 When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
4 as well as the food on his table, the seating of his courtiers, the service and attire of his attendants, his cupbearers and their attire, and his procession with which he went up to the House of Adonai, it took her breath away.
5 She said to the king: “The report that I heard in my own land about your achievements and your wisdom is true.
6 But I did not believe their reports until I came and saw with my own eyes. And behold, not even half of the greatness of your wisdom was described to me—you surpass the report that I heard!
7 How blessed are your men, how blessed are your courtiers who continually stand in your presence and hear your wisdom.
8 Blessed be Adonai your God who delighted in you, setting you on His throne as king before Adonai your God. Because your God loved Israel, establishing them forever, He made you king over them to execute justice and righteousness.”
9 Then she gave the king 120 gold talents, large quantities of spices and precious stones. There had never been such quantities of spices as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
