1	And when the queen of Sheba heard# of the fame of Solomon, she came# to prove# Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bare# spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come# to Solomon, she communed# with him of all that was in her heart.
			2	And Solomon told# her all her questions: and there was nothing hid# from Solomon which he told# her not.
			3	And when the queen of Sheba had seen# the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built# ,
			4	And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers# , and their apparel; his cupbearers# also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up# into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her. [cupbearers: or, butlers]
			5	And she said# to the king, It was a true report which I heard# in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom: [report: Heb. word] [acts: or, sayings]
			6	Howbeit I believed# not their words, until I came# , and mine eyes had seen# it : and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told# me: for thou exceedest# the fame that I heard# .
			7	Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand# continually before thee, and hear# thy wisdom.
			8	Blessed# be the LORD thy God, which delighted# in thee to set# thee on his throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish# them for ever, therefore made# he thee king over them, to do# judgment and justice.
			9	And she gave# the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave# king Solomon.
			10	And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought# gold from Ophir, brought# algum trees and precious stones. [algum...: also called, almug trees]
			11	And the king made# of the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers# : and there were none such seen# before in the land of Judah. [terraces: or, stairs: Heb. highways]
			12	And king Solomon gave# to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked# , beside that which she had brought# unto the king. So she turned# , and went away# to her own land, she and her servants.
			13	Now the weight of gold that came# to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;
			14	Beside that which chapmen# # and merchants# brought# . And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought# gold and silver to Solomon. [governors: or, captains]
			15	And king Solomon made# two hundred targets of beaten# gold: six hundred shekels of beaten# gold went# to one target.
			16	And three hundred shields made he of beaten# gold: three hundred shekels of gold went# to one shield. And the king put# them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
			17	Moreover the king made# a great throne of ivory, and overlaid# it with pure gold.
			18	And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened# to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting# place, and two lions standing# by the stays: [stays: Heb. hands]
			19	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.
			20	And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon 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 not any thing accounted# of in the days of Solomon. [pure: Heb. shut up] [none were of silver: or, there was no silver in them]
			21	For the king's ships went# to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every three years once came# the ships of Tarshish bringing# gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. [ivory: or, elephants' teeth]
			22	And king Solomon passed# all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
			23	And all the kings of the earth sought# the presence of Solomon, to hear# his wisdom, that God had put# in his heart.
			24	And they brought# every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
			25	And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve# thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed# in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
			26	And he reigned# over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. [river: that is, Euphrates]
			27	And the king made# silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees made# he as the sycomore trees that are in the low plains in abundance. [made silver: Heb. gave silver]
			28	And they brought# unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
			29	Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written# in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat? [book: Heb. words]
			30	And Solomon reigned# in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
			31	And Solomon slept# with his fathers, and he was buried# in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned# in his stead.
