KJV

1  And when the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ of ⁸⁵³ the fame⁸⁰⁸⁸ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ concerning the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ she came⁹³⁵ to prove⁵²⁵⁴ him with hard questions.²⁴²⁰

2  And she came⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ with a very³⁹⁶⁶ great³⁵¹⁵ train,²⁴²⁸ with camels¹⁵⁸¹ that bore⁵³⁷⁵ spices,¹³¹⁴ and very³⁹⁶⁶ much⁷²²⁷ gold,²⁰⁹¹ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones:⁶⁸ and when she was come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ she communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁴¹³ him of ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ her heart.³⁸²⁴

3  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ her ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ her questions:¹⁶⁹⁷ there was¹⁹⁶¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ any thing¹⁶⁹⁷ hid⁵⁹⁵⁶ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ which⁸³⁴ he told⁵⁰⁴⁶ her not.³⁸⁰⁸

4  And when the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ had seen^{7200 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ Solomon's⁸⁰¹⁰ wisdom,²⁴⁵¹ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ that⁸³⁴ he had built,¹¹²⁹

5  And the meat³⁹⁷⁸ of his table,⁷⁹⁷⁹ and the sitting⁴¹⁸⁶ of his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and the attendance⁴⁶¹² of his ministers,⁸³³⁴ and their apparel,⁴⁴⁰³ and his cupbearers,⁴⁹⁴⁵ and his ascent⁵⁹³⁰ by which⁸³⁴ he went up⁵⁹²⁷ unto the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ there was¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in her.

6  And she said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ It was¹⁹⁶¹ a true⁵⁷¹ report¹⁶⁹⁷ that⁸³⁴ I heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ in mine own land⁷⁷⁶ of⁵⁹²¹ thy acts¹⁶⁹⁷ and of⁵⁹²¹ thy wisdom.²⁴⁵¹

7  Howbeit I believed⁵³⁹ not³⁸⁰⁸ the words,¹⁶⁹⁷ until^{5704 834} I came,⁹³⁵ and mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ had seen⁷²⁰⁰ it: and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the half²⁶⁷⁷ was not³⁸⁰⁸ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ me: thy wisdom²⁴⁵¹ and prosperity²⁸⁹⁶ exceedeth^{3254 413} the fame⁸⁰⁵² which⁸³⁴ I heard.⁸⁰⁸⁵

8  Happy⁸³⁵ are thy men,³⁷⁶ happy⁸³⁵ are these⁴²⁸ thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ which stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, and that hear^{8085 853} thy wisdom.²⁴⁵¹

9  Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God,⁴³⁰ which⁸³⁴ delighted²⁶⁵⁴ in thee, to set⁵⁴¹⁴ thee on⁵⁹²¹ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ because the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ loved^{157 853} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ forever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ therefore made⁷⁷⁶⁰ he thee king,⁴⁴²⁸ to do⁶²¹³ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ and justice.⁶⁶⁶⁶

10  And she gave⁵⁴¹⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² talents³⁶⁰³ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and of spices¹³¹⁴ very³⁹⁶⁶ great store,⁷²³⁵ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones:⁶⁸ there came⁹³⁵ no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ such¹⁹³¹ abundance⁷²³⁰ of spices¹³¹⁴ as these which⁸³⁴ the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ to king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

11  And the navy⁵⁹⁰ also¹⁵⁷¹ of Hiram,²⁴³⁸ that⁸³⁴ brought⁵³⁷⁵ gold²⁰⁹¹ from Ophir,^{4480 211} brought in⁹³⁵ from Ophir^{4480 211} great³⁹⁶⁶ plenty⁷²³⁵ of almug⁴⁸⁴ trees,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones.⁶⁸

12  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ made⁶²¹³ of ⁸⁵³ the almug⁴⁸⁴ trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ pillars⁴⁵⁵² for the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and for the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ harps³⁶⁵⁸ also and psalteries⁵⁰³⁵ for singers:⁷⁸⁹¹ there came⁹³⁵ no³⁸⁰⁸ such³⁶⁵¹ almug⁴⁸⁴ trees,⁶⁰⁸⁶ nor³⁸⁰⁸ were seen⁷²⁰⁰ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

13  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ unto the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba^{7614 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ her desire,²⁶⁵⁶ whatsoever⁸³⁴ she asked,⁷⁵⁹² beside^{4480 905} that which⁸³⁴ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ her of his royal bounty.^{3027 4428} So she turned⁶⁴³⁷ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ to her own country,⁷⁷⁶ she¹⁹³¹ and her servants.⁵⁶⁵⁰

14  Now the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ of gold²⁰⁹¹ that⁸³⁴ came⁹³⁵ to Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ in one²⁵⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ was¹⁹⁶¹ six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ threescore⁸³⁴⁶ and six⁸³³⁷ talents³⁶⁰³ of gold,²⁰⁹¹

15  Beside⁹⁰⁵ that he had of the merchantmen,^{4480 376 8446} and of the traffic⁴⁵³⁶ of the spice merchants,⁷⁴⁰² and of all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Arabia,⁶¹⁵⁴ and of the governors⁶³⁴⁶ of the country.⁷⁷⁶

16  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made⁶²¹³ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ targets⁶⁷⁹³ of beaten⁷⁸²⁰ gold:²⁰⁹¹ six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels of gold²⁰⁹¹ went⁵⁹²⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ one²⁵⁹ target.⁶⁷⁹³

17  And he made three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shields⁴⁰⁴³ of beaten⁷⁸²⁰ gold;²⁰⁹¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ pound⁴⁴⁸⁸ of gold²⁰⁹¹ went⁵⁹²⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ one²⁵⁹ shield:⁴⁰⁴³ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ put⁵⁴¹⁴ them in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the forest³²⁹³ of Lebanon.³⁸⁴⁴

18  Moreover the king⁴⁴²⁸ made⁶²¹³ a great¹⁴¹⁹ throne³⁶⁷⁸ of ivory,⁸¹²⁷ and overlaid⁶⁸²³ it with the best⁶³³⁸ gold.²⁰⁹¹

19  The throne³⁶⁷⁸ had six⁸³³⁷ steps,⁴⁶⁰⁹ and the top⁷²¹⁸ of the throne³⁶⁷⁸ was round⁵⁶⁹⁶ behind:^{4480 310} and there were stays³⁰²⁷ on either side^{4480 2088 4480 2088} on⁴¹³ the place⁴⁷²⁵ of the seat,⁷⁶⁷⁵ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ lions⁷³⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ beside⁶⁸¹ the stays.³⁰²⁷

20  And twelve^{8147 6240} lions⁷³⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ there⁸⁰³³ on⁵⁹²¹ the one side^{4480 2088} and on the other^{4480 2088} upon the six⁸³³⁷ steps:⁴⁶⁰⁹ there was not³⁸⁰⁸ the like³⁶⁵¹ made⁶²¹³ in any³⁶⁰⁵ kingdom.⁴⁴⁶⁷

21  And all³⁶⁰⁵ king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon's⁸⁰¹⁰ drinking⁴⁹⁴⁵ vessels³⁶²⁷ were of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the forest³²⁹³ of Lebanon³⁸⁴⁴ were of pure⁵⁴⁶² gold;²⁰⁹¹ none³⁶⁹ were of silver:³⁷⁰¹ it was nothing^{3808 3972} accounted²⁸⁰³ of in the days³¹¹⁷ of Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

22  For³⁵⁸⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ had at sea³²²⁰ a navy⁵⁹⁰ of Tharshish⁸⁶⁵⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ the navy⁵⁹⁰ of Hiram:²⁴³⁸ once²⁵⁹ in three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ came⁹³⁵ the navy⁵⁹⁰ of Tharshish,⁸⁶⁵⁹ bringing⁵³⁷⁵ gold,²⁰⁹¹ and silver,³⁷⁰¹ ivory,⁸¹⁴³ and apes,⁶⁹⁷¹ and peacocks.⁸⁵⁰⁰

23  So king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ exceeded all^{1431 4480 3605} the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ for riches⁶²³⁹ and for wisdom.²⁴⁵¹

24  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the earth⁷⁷⁶ sought^{1245 853} to⁶⁴⁴⁰ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ to hear^{8085 853} his wisdom,²⁴⁵¹ which⁸³⁴ God⁴³⁰ had put⁵⁴¹⁴ in his heart.³⁸²⁰

25  And they¹⁹⁹² brought⁹³⁵ every man³⁷⁶ his present,⁴⁵⁰³ vessels³⁶²⁷ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and vessels³⁶²⁷ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and garments,⁸⁰⁰⁸ and armor,⁵⁴⁰² and spices,¹³¹⁴ horses,⁵⁴⁸³ and mules,⁶⁵⁰⁵ a rate¹⁶⁹⁷ year⁸¹⁴¹ by year.⁸¹⁴¹

26  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ gathered together⁶²² chariots⁷³⁹³ and horsemen:⁶⁵⁷¹ and he had¹⁹⁶¹ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ and four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ chariots,⁷³⁹³ and twelve^{8147 6240} thousand⁵⁰⁵ horsemen,⁶⁵⁷¹ whom he bestowed⁵¹⁴⁸ in the cities⁵⁸⁹² for chariots,⁷³⁹³ and with⁵⁹⁷³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

27  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ made^{5414 853} silver³⁷⁰¹ to be in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ as stones,⁶⁸ and cedars⁷³⁰ made⁵⁴¹⁴ he to be as the sycamore trees⁸²⁵⁶ that⁸³⁴ are in the vale,⁸²¹⁹ for abundance.⁷²³⁰

28  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had horses⁵⁴⁸³ brought⁴¹⁶¹ out of Egypt,^{4480 4714} and linen yarn:^{4480 4723} the king's⁴⁴²⁸ merchants⁵⁵⁰³ received³⁹⁴⁷ the linen yarn^{4480 4723} at a price.⁴²⁴²

29  And a chariot⁴⁸¹⁸ came up⁵⁹²⁷ and went out³³¹⁸ of Egypt^{4480 4714} for six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and a horse⁵⁴⁸³ for a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty:²⁵⁷² and so³⁶⁵¹ for all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the Hittites,²⁸⁵⁰ and for the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Syria,⁷⁵⁸ did they bring them out³³¹⁸ by their means.³⁰²⁷

1 καὶ βασίλισσα Σαβα ἤκουσεν τὸ ὄνομα Σαλωμων καὶ τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου καὶ ἦλθεν πειράσαι αὐτὸν ἐν αἰνίγμασιν

2 καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ ἐν δυνάμει βαρείᾳ σφόδρα καὶ κάμηλοι αἴρουσαι ἡδύσματα καὶ χρυσὸν πολὺν σφόδρα καὶ λίθον τίμιον καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς Σαλωμων καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ πάντα ὅσα ἦν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς

3 καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῇ Σαλωμων πάντας τοὺς λόγους αὐτῆς οὐκ ἦν λόγος παρεωραμένος παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως ὃν οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῇ

4 καὶ εἶδεν βασίλισσα Σαβα πᾶσαν φρόνησιν Σαλωμων καὶ τὸν οἶκον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν

5 καὶ τὰ βρώματα Σαλωμων καὶ τὴν καθέδραν παίδων αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν στάσιν λειτουργῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν ἱματισμὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς οἰνοχόους αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν αὐτοῦ ἣν ἀνέφερεν ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ ἐξ ἑαυτῆς ἐγένετο

6 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Σαλωμων ἀληθινὸς ὁ λόγος ὃν ἤκουσα ἐν τῇ γῇ μου περὶ τοῦ λόγου σου καὶ περὶ τῆς φρονήσεώς σου

7 καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευσα τοῖς λαλοῦσίν μοι ἕως ὅτου παρεγενόμην καὶ ἑωράκασιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν τὸ ἥμισυ καθὼς ἀπήγγειλάν μοι προστέθεικας ἀγαθὰ πρὸς αὐτὰ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀκοήν ἣν ἤκουσα ἐν τῇ γῇ μου

8 μακάριαι αἱ γυναῖκές σου μακάριοι οἱ παῖδές σου οὗτοι οἱ παρεστηκότες ἐνώπιόν σου δι᾽ ὅλου οἱ ἀκούοντες πᾶσαν τὴν φρόνησίν σου

9 γένοιτο κύριος ὁ θεός σου εὐλογημένος ὃς ἠθέλησεν ἐν σοὶ δοῦναί σε ἐπὶ θρόνου Ισραηλ διὰ τὸ ἀγαπᾶν κύριον τὸν Ισραηλ στῆσαι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ ἔθετό σε βασιλέα ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς τοῦ ποιεῖν κρίμα ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἐν κρίμασιν αὐτῶν

10 καὶ ἔδωκεν τῷ Σαλωμων ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι τάλαντα χρυσίου καὶ ἡδύσματα πολλὰ σφόδρα καὶ λίθον τίμιον οὐκ ἐληλύθει κατὰ τὰ ἡδύσματα ἐκεῖνα ἔτι εἰς πλῆθος ἃ ἔδωκεν βασίλισσα Σαβα τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμων

11 καὶ ἡ ναῦς Χιραμ ἡ αἴρουσα τὸ χρυσίον ἐκ Σουφιρ ἤνεγκεν ξύλα ἀπελέκητα πολλὰ σφόδρα καὶ λίθον τίμιον

12 καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὰ ξύλα τὰ ἀπελέκητα ὑποστηρίγματα τοῦ οἴκου κυρίου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ νάβλας καὶ κινύρας τοῖς ᾠδοῖς οὐκ ἐληλύθει τοιαῦτα ξύλα ἀπελέκητα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς οὐδὲ ὤφθησάν που ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης

13 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων ἔδωκεν τῇ βασιλίσσῃ Σαβα πάντα ὅσα ἠθέλησεν ὅσα ᾐτήσατο ἐκτὸς πάντων ὧν δεδώκει αὐτῇ διὰ χειρὸς τοῦ βασιλέως Σαλωμων καὶ ἀπεστράφη καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς αὐτὴ καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτῆς

14 καὶ ἦν ὁ σταθμὸς τοῦ χρυσίου τοῦ ἐληλυθότος τῷ Σαλωμων ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἑνὶ ἑξακόσια καὶ ἑξήκοντα ἓξ τάλαντα χρυσίου

15 χωρὶς τῶν φόρων τῶν ὑποτεταγμένων καὶ τῶν ἐμπόρων καὶ πάντων τῶν βασιλέων τοῦ πέραν καὶ τῶν σατραπῶν τῆς γῆς

16 καὶ ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων τριακόσια δόρατα χρυσᾶ ἐλατά τριακόσιοι χρυσοῖ ἐπῆσαν ἐπὶ τὸ δόρυ τὸ ἕν

17 καὶ τριακόσια ὅπλα χρυσᾶ ἐλατά τρεῖς μναῖ χρυσίου ἐνῆσαν εἰς τὸ ὅπλον τὸ ἕν καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ εἰς οἶκον δρυμοῦ τοῦ Λιβάνου

18 καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς θρόνον ἐλεφάντινον μέγαν καὶ περιεχρύσωσεν αὐτὸν χρυσίῳ δοκίμῳ

19 ἓξ ἀναβαθμοὶ τῷ θρόνῳ καὶ προτομαὶ μόσχων τῷ θρόνῳ ἐκ τῶν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ χεῖρες ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου τῆς καθέδρας καὶ δύο λέοντες ἑστηκότες παρὰ τὰς χεῖρας

20 καὶ δώδεκα λέοντες ἑστῶτες ἐπὶ τῶν ἓξ ἀναβαθμῶν ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν οὐ γέγονεν οὕτως πάσῃ βασιλείᾳ

21 καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τοῦ πότου Σαλωμων χρυσᾶ καὶ λουτῆρες χρυσοῖ πάντα τὰ σκεύη οἴκου δρυμοῦ τοῦ Λιβάνου χρυσίῳ συγκεκλεισμένα οὐκ ἦν ἀργύριον ὅτι οὐκ ἦν λογιζόμενον ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Σαλωμων

22 ὅτι ναῦς Θαρσις τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ μετὰ τῶν νηῶν Χιραμ μία διὰ τριῶν ἐτῶν ἤρχετο τῷ βασιλεῖ ναῦς ἐκ Θαρσις χρυσίου καὶ ἀργυρίου καὶ λίθων τορευτῶν καὶ πελεκητῶν
αὕτη ἦν ἡ πραγματεία τῆς προνομῆς ἧς ἀνήνεγκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων οἰκοδομῆσαι τὸν οἶκον κυρίου καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τὸ τεῖχος Ιερουσαλημ καὶ τὴν ἄκραν τοῦ περιφράξαι τὸν φραγμὸν τῆς πόλεως Δαυιδ καὶ τὴν Ασσουρ καὶ τὴν Μαγδαν καὶ τὴν Γαζερ καὶ τὴν Βαιθωρων τὴν ἀνωτέρω καὶ τὴν Ιεθερμαθ καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τῶν ἁρμάτων καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τῶν ἱππέων καὶ τὴν πραγματείαν Σαλωμων ἣν ἐπραγματεύσατο οἰκοδομῆσαι ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ τοῦ μὴ κατάρξαι αὐτοῦ
πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν ὑπολελειμμένον ἀπὸ τοῦ Χετταίου καὶ τοῦ Αμορραίου καὶ τοῦ Φερεζαίου καὶ τοῦ Χαναναίου καὶ τοῦ Ευαίου καὶ τοῦ Ιεβουσαίου καὶ τοῦ Γεργεσαίου τῶν μὴ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ὄντων τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν τὰ ὑπολελειμμένα μετ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῇ οὓς οὐκ ἐδύναντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι αὐτούς καὶ ἀνήγαγεν αὐτοὺς Σαλωμων εἰς φόρον ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης
καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ οὐκ ἔδωκε Σαλωμων εἰς πρᾶγμα ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἦσαν ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταὶ καὶ παῖδες αὐτοῦ καὶ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἱππεῖς αὐτοῦ

23 καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη Σαλωμων ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς πλούτῳ καὶ φρονήσει

24 καὶ πάντες βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς ἐζήτουν τὸ πρόσωπον Σαλωμων τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φρονήσεως αὐτοῦ ἧς ἔδωκεν κύριος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ

25 καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔφερον ἕκαστος τὰ δῶρα αὐτοῦ σκεύη χρυσᾶ καὶ ἱματισμόν στακτὴν καὶ ἡδύσματα καὶ ἵππους καὶ ἡμιόνους τὸ κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτὸν ἐνιαυτόν

26 καὶ ἦσαν τῷ Σαλωμων τέσσαρες χιλιάδες θήλειαι ἵπποι εἰς ἅρματα καὶ δώδεκα χιλιάδες ἱππέων καὶ ἔθετο αὐτὰς ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι τῶν ἁρμάτων καὶ μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐν Ιερουσαλημ
καὶ ἦν ἡγούμενος πάντων τῶν βασιλέων ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἕως γῆς ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἕως ὁρίων Αἰγύπτου

27 καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ὡς λίθους καὶ τὰς κέδρους ἔδωκεν ὡς συκαμίνους τὰς ἐν τῇ πεδινῇ εἰς πλῆθος

28 καὶ ἡ ἔξοδος τῶν ἵππων Σαλωμων ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐκ Θεκουε ἔμποροι τοῦ βασιλέως ἐλάμβανον ἐκ Θεκουε ἐν ἀλλάγματι

29 καὶ ἀνέβαινεν ἡ ἔξοδος ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἅρμα ἀντὶ ἑκατὸν ἀργυρίου καὶ ἵππος ἀντὶ πεντήκοντα ἀργυρίου καὶ οὕτω πᾶσιν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Χεττιιν καὶ βασιλεῦσιν Συρίας κατὰ θάλασσαν ἐξεπορεύοντο

1 Sed et regina Saba, audita fama Salomonis in nomine Domini, venit tentare eum in ænigmatibus.

2 Et ingressa Jerusalem multo cum comitatu et divitiis, camelis portantibus aromata, et aurum infinitum nimis, et gemmas pretiosas, venit ad regem Salomonem, et locuta est ei universa quæ habebat in corde suo.

3 Et docuit eam Salomon omnia verba quæ proposuerat: non fuit sermo qui regem posset latere, et non responderet ei.

4 Videns autem regina Saba omnem sapientiam Salomonis, et domum quam ædificaverat,

5 et cibos mensæ ejus, et habitacula servorum, et ordines ministrantium, vestesque eorum, et pincernas, et holocausta quæ offerebat in domo Domini: non habebat ultra spiritum.

6 Dixitque ad regem: Verus est sermo quem audivi in terra mea

7 super sermonibus tuis, et super sapientia tua: et non credebam narrantibus mihi, donec ipsa veni, et vidi oculis meis, et probavi quod media pars mihi nuntiata non fuerit: major est sapientia et opera tua, quam rumor quem audivi.

8 Beati viri tui, et beati servi tui, qui stant coram te semper, et audiunt sapientiam tuam.

9 Sit Dominus Deus tuus benedictus, cui complacuisti, et posuit te super thronum Israël, eo quod dilexerit Dominus Israël in sempiternum, et constituit te regem ut faceres judicium et justitiam.

10 Dedit ergo regi centum viginti talenta auri, et aromata multa nimis, et gemmas pretiosas: non sunt allata ultra aromata tam multa, quam ea quæ dedit regina Saba regi Salomoni.

11 (Sed et classis Hiram, quæ portabat aurum de Ophir, attulit ex Ophir ligna thyina multa nimis, et gemmas pretiosas.

12 Fecitque rex de lignis thyinis fulcra domus Domini et domus regiæ, et citharas lyrasque cantoribus: non sunt allata hujuscemodi ligna thyina, neque visa usque in præsentem diem.)

13 Rex autem Salomon dedit reginæ Saba omnia quæ voluit et petivit ab eo, exceptis his quæ ultro obtulerat ei munere regio. Quæ reversa est, et abiit in terram suam cum servis suis.

14 Erat autem pondus auri quod afferebatur Salomoni per annos singulos, sexcentorum sexaginta sex talentorum auri,

15 excepto eo quod afferebant viri qui super vectigalia erant, et negotiatores, universique scruta vendentes, et omnes reges Arabiæ, ducesque terræ.

16 Fecit quoque rex Salomon ducenta scuta de auro purissimo: sexcentos auri siclos dedit in laminas scuti unius.

17 Et trecentas peltas ex auro probato: trecentæ minæ auri unam peltam vestiebant: posuitque eas rex in domo saltus Libani.

18 Fecit etiam rex Salomon thronum de ebore grandem: et vestivit eum auro fulvo nimis,

19 qui habebat sex gradus: et summitas throni rotunda erat in parte posteriori: et duæ manus hinc atque inde tenentes sedile: et duo leones stabant juxta manus singulas.

20 Et duodecim leunculi stantes super sex gradus hinc atque inde: non est factum tale opus in universis regnis.

21 Sed et omnia vasa quibus potabat rex Salomon, erant aurea: et universa supellex domus saltus Libani de auro purissimo: non erat argentum, nec alicujus pretii putabatur in diebus Salomonis,

22 quia classis regis per mare cum classe Hiram semel per tres annos ibat in Tharsis, deferens inde aurum, et argentum, et dentes elephantorum, et simias, et pavos.

23 Magnificatus est ergo rex Salomon super omnes reges terræ divitiis et sapientia.

24 Et universa terra desiderabat vultum Salomonis, ut audiret sapientiam ejus, quam dederat Deus in corde ejus.

25 Et singuli deferebant ei munera, vasa argentea et aurea, vestes et arma bellica, aromata quoque, et equos et mulos per annos singulos.

26 Congregavitque Salomon currus et equites, et facti sunt ei mille quadringenti currus, et duodecim millia equitum: et disposuit eos per civitates munitas, et cum rege in Jerusalem.

27 Fecitque ut tanta esset abundantia argenti in Jerusalem, quanta et lapidum: et cedrorum præbuit multitudinem quasi sycomoros quæ nascuntur in campestribus.

28 Et educebantur equi Salomoni de Ægypto, et de Coa. Negotiatores enim regis emebant de Coa, et statuto pretio perducebant.

29 Egrediebatur autem quadriga ex Ægypto sexcentis siclis argenti, et equus centum quinquaginta. Atque in hunc modum cuncti reges Hethæorum et Syriæ equos venundabant.
