1	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.
			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. [questions: Heb. words]
			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. [attendance: Heb. standing] [cupbearers: or, butlers]
			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. [report: Heb. word] [acts: or, sayings]
			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# . [thy...: Heb. thou hast added wisdom and goodness to]
			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. [almug...: also called, algum trees]
			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. [pillars: or, rails: Heb. a prop]
			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. [of his...: Heb. according to the hand of king Solomon]
			14	Now the weight of gold that came# to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,
			15	Beside that he had of the merchantmen# # , and of the traffick of the spice merchants# , and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country. [governors: or, captains]
			16	And king Solomon made# two hundred targets of beaten# gold: six hundred shekels of gold went# to one target.
			17	And he made three hundred shields of beaten# gold; three pound of gold went# to one shield: and the king put# them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
			18	Moreover the king made# a great throne of ivory, and overlaid# it with the best# gold.
			19	The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat# , and two lions stood# beside the stays. [behind: Heb. on the hinder part thereof] [stays: Heb. hands]
			20	And twelve# lions stood# there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made# in any kingdom. [the like: Heb. so]
			21	And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure# gold; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted# of in the days of Solomon. [none...: or, there was no silver in them]
			22	For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came# the navy of Tharshish, bringing# gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. [ivory: or, elephants' teeth]
			23	So king Solomon exceeded# all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
			24	And all the earth sought# to Solomon, to hear# his wisdom, which God had put# in his heart. [sought to: Heb. sought the face of]
			25	And they brought# every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
			26	And Solomon gathered together# chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve# thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed# in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.
			27	And the king made# silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made# he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the vale, for abundance. [made: Heb. gave]
			28	And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants# received# the linen yarn at a price. [And Solomon...: Heb. And the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's]
			29	And a chariot came up# and went out# of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out# by their means. [by their...: Heb. by their hand]
