2 Chronicles 9:1-12 - Solomon And The Queen Of Sheba
1 And the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon and came to prove him with riddles at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and with camels that bare sweet odours and plenty of gold and precious stone. 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, that 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 standing of his waiters, and their apparel, and his butlers with their apparel, and his parlor out of which he went into the house of the LORD, there was no more heart in her.
5 And then she said to the king, "The saying which I heard in mine own land, of thine acts and of thy wisdom, is truth. 6 But I believed not the words of them, until I came and mine eyes had seen it. And see, the one half of thy wisdom was not told me: thou exceedest the same that I heard. 7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants which stand before thee always and hear thy wisdom. 8 Blessed be the LORD thy God which had lust to thee, to make thee king on his seat, unto the LORD thy God. Because thy God loved Israel, to make them continue ever, therefore made he the king over them to do right and equity."
9 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of sweet odours an exceeding great abundance with precious stones, that there was no such sweet odours as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon. 10 And thereto the servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon which brought gold from Ophir, brought also Algum wood and precious stones. 11 And the king made of the Algum wood stairs for the house of the LORD and in the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers. And there was no such wood seen before in the land of Judah.
12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked above that she brought unto the king. And so she turned and went away unto her own land with her servants.
