9 And the queen of Sheba heard the report of Solomon, and she came to test Solomon with difficult questions in Jerusalem with very great wealth and camels carrying spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stone. And she came to Solomon and spoke with him about all that was in her heart. 2 And Solomon declared to her all her matters; and a matter was not concealed from Solomon which he did not declare to her. 3 And the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon and the house that he built, 4 and the food of his table, and the seating of his servants, and the standing of his ministers and their attire, and his cupbearers and their attire, and his burnt offering that he brought up to[fn] the house of Yahweh, and there was not still breath in her. 5 And she said to the king, “True was the word that I heard in my land concerning your words and concerning your wisdom. 6 But I did not believe their words until when I came, and my eyes saw. And behold, it was not told to me half of the greatness of your wisdom you have added on to the report that I heard. 7 How blessed are your men! And how blessed are these servants of yours, who are standing before you continually and are hearing your wisdom.[fn] 8 Let Yahweh your God be blessed, who delighted in you to place you on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God, because your God loved Israel to establish them forever. And he has placed you over them to be king, to do justice and righteousness!”
9 And she gave to the king 120 talents of gold and spices in great abundance and precious stone. And there was not like that spice which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon. 10 And also the servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum wood and precious stone. 11 And the king made the algum wood into staircases for the house of Yahweh and for the house of the king, and lyres and harps for the singers. And there was not seen like them before in the land of Judah. 12 And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire which she asked besides that which she brought to the king. And she turned and went to her land, she and her servants.
13 And the weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold, 14 besides from the traveling men and the traders who brought in; and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land were bringing gold and silver to Solomon. 15 And King Solomon made 200 large shields of beaten gold; 600 of beaten gold he brought up for one large shield. 16 And 300 shields of beaten gold; 300 gold he brought up for one shield. And the king placed them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon. 17 And the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold. 18 And six steps to the throne, and a footstool with gold to the throne was fastened. And hands from this and from this on the place of the seat and two lions standing beside the hands. 19 And 12 lions were standing there on six steps, from this and from this; it had not been done thus for any kingdom. 20 And all the vessels of drink of King Solomon were gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were refined gold. Nothing of silver; it was not thought in the days of Solomon for anything. 21 For the ships belonging to the king went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish would come carrying gold and silver, ivories, and apes and baboons.
22 And King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. 23 And all the kings of the earth were seeking the face of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God placed in his heart. 24 And they were bringing each his gift, items of silver and items of gold, and garments, armor, and spices, and horses and mules, a matter of year by year. 25 And there were to Solomon 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots, and 12,000 horsemen; and he placed them in chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. 26 And it happened he was ruling over all the kings from the River and until the land of the Philistines, and until the border of Egypt. 27 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he made as sycamore trees that were in the lowlands, in abundance. 28 And they were bringing out horses from Egypt to Solomon and from all the lands.
29 And the remainder of the matters of Solomon, the first things and the last things, are they not written in the words of Nathan the Prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the Seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat? 30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel 40 years. 31 And Solomon lied down with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam, his son, reigned in his place.
Some scholars suggest an alternative reading of the phrase the burnt offerings he made at to say, the ascent by which he went up to.
Some versions have, How blessed are your wives, assuming that the text should read as in 1 Kings 10:8.
