|
1. And when the queen H4436 of Sheba H7614 heard H8085 H853 of the fame H8088 of Solomon H8010 , she came H935 to prove H5254 H853 Solomon H8010 with hard questions H2420 at Jerusalem H3389 , with a very H3966 great H3515 company H2428 , and camels H1581 that bore H5375 spices H1314 , and gold H2091 in abundance H7230 , and precious H3368 stones H68 : and when she was come H935 to H413 Solomon H8010 , she communed H1696 with H5973 him H853 of all H3605 that H834 was H1961 in H5973 her heart H3824 .

|
|
4. and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his cupbearers, and their clothing, and his burnt offerings that he offered up in the house of Jehovah; and there was no more spirit in her.
|
4. And the meat H3978 of his table H7979 , and the sitting H4186 of his servants H5650 , and the attendance H4612 of his ministers H8334 , and their apparel H4403 ; his cupbearers H4945 also , and their apparel H4403 ; and his ascent H5944 by which H834 he went up H5927 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 ; there was H1961 no H3808 more H5750 spirit H7307 in her.
|
|
5. And she said to the king, The word that I heard in my land concerning your matters and concerning your wisdom is true.
|
5. And she said H559 to H413 the king H4428 , It was a true H571 report H1697 which H834 I heard H8085 in mine own land H776 of H5921 thine acts H1697 , and of H5921 thy wisdom H2451 :
|
|
6. But I had given no credence to their words, until I had come and my eyes had seen. And, behold, there was not declared to me half of the greatness of your wisdom. You exceeded the report that I heard.
|
6. Howbeit I believed H539 not H3808 their words H1697 , until H5704 H834 I came H935 , and mine eyes H5869 had seen H7200 it : and, behold H2009 , the one half H2677 of the greatness H4768 of thy wisdom H2451 was not H3808 told H5046 me: for thou exceedest H3254 H5921 the fame H8052 that H834 I heard H8085 .
|
|
7. Oh the happiness of your men, and the happiness of your servants, these who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom!
|
7. Happy H835 are thy men H376 , and happy H835 are these H428 thy servants H5650 , which stand H5975 continually H8548 before H6440 thee , and hear H8085 H853 thy wisdom H2451 .
|
|
8. May Jehovah your God be blessed, who has delighted in you, to put you on His throne to be king for Jehovah your God. In the love of your God toward Israel, to make it stand forever, He has put you over them as king, to do judgment and righteousness.
|
8. Blessed H1288 be H1961 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , which H834 delighted H2654 in thee to set H5414 thee on H5921 his throne H3678 , to be king H4428 for the LORD H3068 thy God H430 : because thy God H430 loved H160 H853 Israel H3478 , to establish H5975 them forever H5769 , therefore made H5414 he thee king H4428 over H5921 them , to do H6213 judgment H4941 and justice H6666 .
