- 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 train, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.
- Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not anything hidden from Solomon which he didn't tell her.
- When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
- and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, his cup bearers also, and their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Yahweh; there was no more spirit in her.
- She said to the king, "It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.
- 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.
- Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom.
- Blessed be Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God: because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore made he you king over them, to do justice and righteousness."
- She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
- The servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
- The king made of the algum trees terraces for the house of Yahweh, and for the king's house, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers: and there were none like these seen before in the land of Judah.
- King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
- Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
- besides that which the traders and merchants brought: and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
- King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold went to one buckler.
- [he made] three hundred shields 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.
- Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
- And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.
- Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.
- 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: silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
- For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
- So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
- All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
- They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
- Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he stationed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
- He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
- The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
- They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
- Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren't they written in the history 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?
- Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
- Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.

- ומלכת־שבא שמעה את־שמע שלמה ותבוא לנסות את־שלמה בחידות בירושלם בחיל כבד מאד וגמלים נשאים בשמים וזהב לרב ואבן יקרה ותבוא אל־שלמה ותדבר עמו את כל־אשר היה עם־לבבה׃
- ויגד־לה שלמה את־כל־דבריה ולא־נעלם דבר משלמה אשר לא הגיד לה׃
- ותרא מלכת־שבא את חכמת שלמה והבית אשר בנה׃
- ומאכל שלחנו ומושב עבדיו ומעמד משרתיו ומלבושיהם ומשקיו ומלבושיהם ועליתו אשר יעלה בית יהוה ולא־היה עוד בה רוח׃
- ותאמר אל־המלך אמת הדבר אשר שמעתי בארצי על־דבריך ועל־חכמתך׃
- ולא־האמנתי לדבריהם עד אשר־באתי ותראינה עיני והנה לא הגד־לי חצי מרבית חכמתך יספת על־השמועה אשר שמעתי׃
- אשרי אנשיך ואשרי עבדיך אלה העמדים לפניך תמיד ושמעים את־חכמתך׃
- יהי יהוה אלהיך ברוך אשר חפץ בך לתתך על־כסאו למלך ליהוה אלהיך באהבת אלהיך את־ישראל להעמידו לעולם ויתנך עליהם למלך לעשות משפט וצדקה׃
- ותתן למלך מאה ועשרים ככר זהב ובשמים לרב מאד ואבן יקרה ולא היה כבשם ההוא אשר־נתנה מלכת־שבא למלך שלמה׃
- וגם־עבדי ועבדי שלמה אשר־הביאו זהב מאופיר הביאו עצי אלגומים ואבן יקרה׃
- ויעש המלך את־עצי האלגומים מסלות לבית־יהוה ולבית המלך וכנרות ונבלים לשרים ולא־נראו כהם לפנים בארץ יהודה׃
- והמלך שלמה נתן למלכת־שבא את־כל־חפצה אשר שאלה מלבד אשר־הביאה אל־המלך ותהפך ותלך לארצה היא ועבדיה׃ ף
- ויהי משקל הזהב אשר־בא לשלמה בשנה אחת שש מאות וששים ושש ככרי זהב׃
- לבד מאנשי התרים והסחרים מביאים וכל־מלכי ערב ופחות הארץ מביאים זהב וכסף לשלמה׃
- ויעש המלך שלמה מאתים צנה זהב שחוט שש מאות זהב שחוט יעלה על־הצנה האחת׃
- ושלש־מאות מגנים זהב שחוט שלש מאות זהב יעלה על־המגן האחת ויתנם המלך בבית יער הלבנון׃ ף
- ויעש המלך כסא־שן גדול ויצפהו זהב טהור׃
- ושש מעלות לכסא וכבש בזהב לכסא מאחזים וידות מזה ומזה על־מקום השבת ושנים אריות עמדים אצל הידות׃
- ושנים עשר אריות עמדים שם על־שש המעלות מזה ומזה לא־נעשה כן לכל־ממלכה׃
- וכל כלי משקה המלך שלמה זהב וכל כלי בית־יער הלבנון זהב סגור אין כסף נחשב בימי שלמה למאומה׃
- כי־אניות למלך הלכות תרשיש עם עבדי חורם אחת לשלוש שנים תבואנה אניות תרשיש נשאות זהב וכסף שנהבים וקופים ותוכיים׃ ף
- ויגדל המלך שלמה מכל מלכי הארץ לעשר וחכמה׃
- וכל מלכי הארץ מבקשים את־פני שלמה לשמע את־חכמתו אשר־נתן האלהים בלבו׃
- והם מביאים איש מנחתו כלי כסף וכלי זהב ושלמות נשק ובשמים סוסים ופרדים דבר־שנה בשנה׃ ף
- ויהי לשלמה ארבעת אלפים אריות סוסים ומרכבות ושנים־עשר אלף פרשים ויניחם בערי הרכב ועם־המלך בירושלם׃
- ויהי מושל בכל־המלכים מן־הנהר ועד־ארץ פלשתים ועד גבול מצרים׃
- ויתן המלך את־הכסף בירושלם כאבנים ואת הארזים נתן כשקמים אשר־בשפלה לרב׃
- ומוציאים סוסים ממצרים לשלמה ומכל־הארצות׃
- ושאר דברי שלמה הראשנים והאחרונים הלא־הם כתובים על־דברי נתן הנביא ועל־נבואת אחיה השילוני ובחזות החזה על־ירבעם בן־נבט׃

- Regina quoque Saba, cum audisset famam Salomonis, venit ut tentaret eum in ænigmatibus in Jerusalem, cum magnis opibus et camelis, qui portabant aromata, et auri plurimum, gemmasque pretiosas. Cumque venisset ad Salomonem, locuta est ei quæcumque erant in corde suo.
- Et exposuit ei Salomon omnia quæ proposuerat : nec quidquam fuit, quod non perspicuum ei fecerit.
- Quæ postquam vidit, sapientiam scilicet Salomonis, et domum quam ædificaverat,
- necnon et cibaria mensæ ejus, et habitacula servorum, et officia ministrorum ejus, et vestimenta eorum, pincernas quoque et vestes eorum, et victimas quas immolabat in domo Domini : non erat præ stupore ultra in ea spiritus.
- Dixitque ad regem : Verus est sermo, quem audieram in terra mea de virtutibus et sapientia tua.
- Non credebam narrantibus donec ipsa venissem, et vidissent oculi mei, et probassem vix medietatem sapientiæ tuæ mihi fuisse narratam : vicisti famam virtutibus tuis.
- Beati viri tui, et beati servi tui, qui assistunt coram te omni tempore, et audiunt sapientiam tuam.
- Sit Dominus Deus tuus benedictus, qui voluit te ordinare super thronum suum, regem Domini Dei tui. Quia diligit Deus Israël, et vult servare eum in æternum, idcirco posuit te super eum regem ut facias judicia atque justitiam.
- Dedit autem regi centum viginti talenta auri, et aromata multa nimis, et gemmas pretiosissimas : non fuerunt aromata talia ut hæc, quæ dedit regina Saba regi Salomoni.
- Sed et servi Hiram cum servis Salomonis attulerunt aurum de Ophir, et ligna thyina, et gemmas pretiosissimas :
- de quibus fecit rex, de lignis scilicet thyinis, gradus in domo Domini, et in domo regia, citharas quoque, et psalteria cantoribus : numquam visa sunt in terra Juda ligna talia.
- Rex autem Salomon dedit reginæ Saba cuncta quæ voluit, et quæ postulavit, et multo plura quam attulerat ad eum : quæ reversa, abiit in terram suam cum servis suis.
- Erat autem pondus auri, quod afferebatur Salomoni per singulos annos, sexcenta sexaginta sex talenta auri :
- excepta ea summa, quam legati diversarum gentium, et negotiatores afferre consueverant, omnesque reges Arabiæ, et satrapæ terrarum, qui comportabant aurum et argentum Salomoni.
- Fecit igitur rex Salomon ducentas hastas aureas de summa sexcentorum aureorum, qui in singulis hastis expendebantur :
- trecenta quoque scuta aurea trecentorum aureorum, quibus tegebantur singula scuta : posuitque ea rex in armentario, quod erat consitum nemore.
- Fecit quoque rex solium eburneum grande, et vestivit illud auro mundissimo.
- Sex quoque gradus, quibus ascendebatur ad solium, et scabellum aureum, et brachiola duo altrinsecus, et duos leones stantes juxta brachiola,
- sed et alios duodecim leunculos stantes super sex gradus ex utraque parte : non fuit tale solium in universis regnis.
- Omnia quoque vasa convivii regis erant aurea, et vasa domus saltus Libani ex auro purissimo. Argentum enim in diebus illis pro nihilo reputabatur.
- Siquidem naves regis ibant in Tharsis cum servis Hiram, semel in annis tribus : et deferebant inde aurum, et argentum, et ebur, et simias, et pavos.
- Magnificatus est igitur Salomon super omnes reges terræ præ divitiis et gloria.
- Omnesque reges terrarum desiderabant videre faciem Salomonis, ut audirent sapientiam, quam dederat Deus in corde ejus :
- et deferebant ei munera, vasa argentea, et aurea, et vestes, et arma, et aromata, equos, et mulos, per singulos annos.
- Habuit quoque Salomon quadraginta millia equorum in stabulis, et curruum, equitumque duodecim millia, constituitque eos in urbibus quadrigarum, et ubi erat rex in Jerusalem.
- Exercuit etiam potestatem super cunctos reges a flumine Euphrate usque ad terram Philisthinorum, et usque ad terminos Ægypti.
- Tantamque copiam præbuit argenti in Jerusalem quasi lapidum : et cedrorum tantam multitudinem velut sycomororum, quæ gignuntur in campestribus.
- Adducebantur autem ei equi de Ægypto, cunctisque regionibus.
- Reliqua autem operum Salomonis priorum et novissimorum scripta sunt in verbis Nathan prophetæ, et in libris Ahiæ Silonitis, in visione quoque Addo videntis, contra Jeroboam filium Nabat.
- Regnavit autem Salomon in Jerusalem super omnem Israël quadraginta annis.
- Dormivitque cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David : regnavitque Roboam filius ejus pro eo.

- 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.
- And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
- And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
- 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.
- 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.
- And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
- 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.
- 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.
- Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;
- Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
- And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target.
- 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.
- Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
- And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
- 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.
- 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.
- And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
- 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.
- And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
- 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?
- And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
- 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.
