5. the food of his table, the sitting of his servants, the attendance of his officials, their clothing, his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to The LORD's house; there was no more spirit in her.

6. She said to the king, "It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.

7. However I didn't believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.

8. Happy are your men, happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.

9. Blessed is the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because the LORD loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness."

10. She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was there such an abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king SOLOMON.

11. The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir, also brought in from Ophir great quantities of almug trees and precious stones.

12. The king made of the almug trees pillars for The LORD's house, and for the king's house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers; no such almug trees came or were seen, to this day.

3. When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of SOLOMON, the house that he had built,

4. the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers, their clothing, his cup bearers also, their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to The LORD's house; there was no more spirit in her.

5. She said to the king, "It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.

6. However I didn't believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!

7. Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom.

8. Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on his throne, to be king for the LORD your God; because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever. Therefore made he you king over them, to do justice and righteousness."

So I was great, and increased more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also remained with me.

yet I tell you that even SOLOMON in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.

Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even SOLOMON in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
