10:1 And when the queen 4436 of Sheba 7614 heard 8085 8802 of the fame 8088 of Solomon 8010 concerning the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, she came 935 8799 to prove 5254 8763 him with hard questions 2420.

10:2 And she came 935 8799 to Jerusalem 3389 with a very 3966 great 3515 train 2428, with camels 1581 that bare 5375 8802 spices 1314, and very 3966 much 7227 gold 2091, and precious 3368 stones 68: and when she was come 935 8799 to Solomon 8010, she communed 1696 8762 with him of all that was in her heart 3824.

10:3 And Solomon 8010 told 5046 8686 her all her questions 1697: there was not [any] thing 1697 hid 5956 8737 from the king 4428, which he told 5046 8689 her not.(questions: Heb. words)

10:4 And when the queen 4436 of Sheba 7614 had seen 7200 8799 all Solomon's 8010 wisdom 2451, and the house 1004 that he had built 1129 8804,

10:5 And the meat 3978 of his table 7979, and the sitting 4186 of his servants 5650, and the attendance 4612 of his ministers 8334 8764, and their apparel 4403, and his cupbearers 8248 8688, and his ascent 5930 by which he went up 5927 8799 unto the house 1004 of the LORD 3068; there was no more spirit 7307 in her.(attendance: Heb. standing)(cupbearers: or, butlers)

10:6 And she said 559 8799 to the king 4428, It was a true 571 report 1697 that I heard 8085 8804 in mine own land 776 of thy acts 1697 and of thy wisdom 2451.(report: Heb. word)(acts: or, sayings)

10:7 Howbeit I believed 539 8689 not the words 1697, until I came 935 8804, and mine eyes 5869 had seen 7200 8799 [it]: and, behold, the half 2677 was not told 5046 8717 me: thy wisdom 2451 and prosperity 2896 exceedeth 3254 8689 the fame 8052 which I heard 8085 8804.(thy…: Heb. thou hast added wisdom and goodness to)

10:8 Happy 835 [are] thy men 582, happy 835 [are] these thy servants 5650, which stand 5975 8802 continually 8548 before 6440 thee, [and] that hear 8085 8802 thy wisdom 2451.

10:9 Blessed 1288 8803 be the LORD 3068 thy God 430, which delighted 2654 8804 in thee, to set 5414 8800 thee on the throne 3678 of Israel 3478: because the LORD 3068 loved 160 Israel 3478 for ever 5769, therefore made 7760 8799 he thee king 4428, to do 6213 8800 judgment 4941 and justice 6666.

10:10 And she gave 5414 8799 the king 4428 an hundred 3967 and twenty 6242 talents 3603 of gold 2091, and of spices 1314 very 3966 great store 7235 8687, and precious 3368 stones 68: there came 935 8804 no more such 1931 abundance 7230 of spices 1314 as these which the queen 4436 of Sheba 7614 gave 5414 8804 to king 4428 Solomon 8010.

10:11 And the navy 590 also of Hiram 2438, that brought 5375 8804 gold 2091 from Ophir 211, brought in 935 8689 from Ophir 211 great 3966 plenty 7235 8687 of almug 484 trees 6086, and precious 3368 stones 68.

10:12 And the king 4428 made 6213 8799 of the almug 484 trees 6086 pillars 4552 for the house 1004 of the LORD 3068, and for the king's 4428 house 1004, harps 3658 also and psalteries 5035 for singers 7891 8802: there came 935 8804 no such almug 484 trees 6086, nor were seen 7200 8738 unto this day 3117.(pillars: or, rails: Heb. a prop)

10:13 And king 4428 Solomon 8010 gave 5414 8804 unto the queen 4436 of Sheba 7614 all her desire 2656, whatsoever she asked 7592 8804, beside [that] which Solomon 8010 gave 5414 8804 her of his royal 4428 bounty 3027. So she turned 6437 8799 and went 3212 8799 to her own country 776, she and her servants 5650.(of his…: Heb. according to the hand of king Solomon)

10:14 Now the weight 4948 of gold 2091 that came 935 8804 to Solomon 8010 in one 259 year 8141 was six 8337 hundred 3967 threescore 8346 and six 8337 talents 3603 of gold 2091,

10:15 Beside [that he had] of the merchantmen 582 8446 8802, and of the traffick 4536 of the spice merchants 7402 8802, and of all the kings 4428 of Arabia 6153, and of the governors 6346 of the country 776.(governors: or, captains)

10:16 And king 4428 Solomon 8010 made 6213 8799 two hundred 3967 targets 6793 [of] beaten 7820 8803 gold 2091: six 8337 hundred 3967 [shekels] of gold 2091 went 5927 8686 to one 259 target 6793.

10:17 And [he made] three 7969 hundred 3967 shields 4043 [of] beaten 7820 8803 gold 2091; three 7969 pound 4488 of gold 2091 went 5927 8686 to one 259 shield 4043: and the king 4428 put 5414 8799 them in the house 1004 of the forest 3293 of Lebanon 3844.

10:18 Moreover the king 4428 made 6213 8799 a great 1419 throne 3678 of ivory 8127, and overlaid 6823 8762 it with the best 6338 8716 gold 2091.

10:19 The throne 3678 had six 8337 steps 4609, and the top 7218 of the throne 3678 [was] round 5696 behind 310: and [there were] stays 3027 on either side on the place 4725 of the seat 7675 8800, and two 8147 lions 738 stood 5975 8802 beside 681 the stays 3027.(behind: Heb. on the hinder part thereof)(stays: Heb. hands)

10:20 And twelve 8147 6240 lions 738 stood 5975 8802 there on the one side and on the other upon the six 8337 steps 4609: there was not the like 3651 made 6213 8738 in any kingdom 4467.(the like: Heb. so)

10:21 And all king 4428 Solomon's 8010 drinking 4945 vessels 3627 [were of] gold 2091, and all the vessels 3627 of the house 1004 of the forest 3293 of Lebanon 3844 [were of] pure 5462 8803 gold 2091; none [were of] silver 3701: it was nothing 3972 accounted 2803 8737 of in the days 3117 of Solomon 8010.(none…: or, there was no silver in them)

10:22 For the king 4428 had at sea 3220 a navy 590 of Tharshish 8659 with the navy 590 of Hiram 2438: once 259 in three 7969 years 8141 came 935 8799 the navy 590 of Tharshish 8659, bringing 5375 8802 gold 2091, and silver 3701, ivory 8143, and apes 6971, and peacocks 8500.(ivory: or, elephants' teeth)

10:23 So king 4428 Solomon 8010 exceeded 1431 8799 all the kings 4428 of the earth 776 for riches 6239 and for wisdom 2451.

10:24 And all the earth 776 sought 1245 8764 to 6440 Solomon 8010, to hear 8085 8800 his wisdom 2451, which God 430 had put 5414 8804 in his heart 3820.(sought to: Heb. sought the face of)

10:25 And they brought 935 8688 every man 376 his present 4503, vessels 3627 of silver 3701, and vessels 3627 of gold 2091, and garments 8008, and armour 5402, and spices 1314, horses 5483, and mules 6505, a rate 1697 year 8141 by year 8141.

10:26 And Solomon 8010 gathered together 622 8799 chariots 7393 and horsemen 6571: and he had a thousand 505 and four 702 hundred 3967 chariots 7393, and twelve 8147 6240 thousand 505 horsemen 6571, whom he bestowed 5148 8686 in the cities 5892 for chariots 7393, and with the king 4428 at Jerusalem 3389.

10:27 And the king 4428 made 5414 8799 silver 3701 [to be] in Jerusalem 3389 as stones 68, and cedars 730 made 5414 8804 he [to be] as the sycomore trees 8256 that [are] in the vale 8219, for abundance 7230.(made: Heb. gave)

10:28 And Solomon 8010 had horses 5483 brought 4161 out of Egypt 4714, and linen yarn 4723: the king's 4428 merchants 5503 8802 received 3947 8799 the linen yarn 4723 at a price 4242.(And Solomon…: Heb. And the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's)
