示巴女王拜访所罗门
9 示巴女王听闻所罗门的名声，便来用难题考问他。她率领许多随从，用骆驼驮着香料、宝石和大量的黄金到耶路撒冷晋见所罗门王，与所罗门谈论她心中的疑问。 2 所罗门王解答了她所有的问题，没有一样难得住他。 3 示巴女王看见所罗门的智慧，又看见他建的宫殿、 4 席上的美味、入座的群臣、侍立一旁的仆人、他们的服装、酒政、以及他在耶和华殿里献的燔祭，感到万分惊奇。 5 她对所罗门王说：“我在本国听到的有关你的功业和智慧原来都是真的。 6 若不是亲眼目睹，我不会相信。事实上，我听到的还不到一半！你的智慧远超过我听到的传闻。 7 你的臣仆经常侍立在你面前聆听智慧之言，真有福气！ 8 你的上帝耶和华当受称颂！祂喜爱你，立你做王统治祂的子民。因为你的上帝爱以色列人，要使他们永远坚立，所以立你为他们的王，使你秉公行义。”
9 示巴女王将四吨黄金、大量香料和宝石献给所罗门王。再无人像示巴女王那样献给所罗门王那么多香料。 10 希兰的仆人和所罗门的仆人从俄斐运来黄金、檀香木和宝石。 11 所罗门王用这些檀香木建造耶和华的殿和王宫的阶梯，又制作歌乐手的琴瑟。在犹大从来没有见过这样的物品。 12 所罗门王满足了示巴女王的一切要求，回赠她的礼物超过了她带来的。之后，女王和随从就回示巴去了。

The Queen of Sheba Visits Solomon(A)
9 When the queen of Sheba(B) heard of Solomon’s fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. Arriving with a very great caravan—with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones—she came to Solomon and talked with him about all she had on her mind. 2 Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for him to explain to her. 3 When the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon,(C) as well as the palace he had built, 4 the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes, the cupbearers in their robes and the burnt offerings he made at[a] the temple of the Lord, she was overwhelmed.
5 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your achievements and your wisdom is true. 6 But I did not believe what they said until I came(D) and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half the greatness of your wisdom was told me; you have far exceeded the report I heard. 7 How happy your people must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom! 8 Praise be to the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on his throne(E) as king to rule for the Lord your God. Because of the love of your God for Israel and his desire to uphold them forever, he has made you king(F) over them, to maintain justice and righteousness.”
9 Then she gave the king 120 talents[b] of gold,(G) large quantities of spices, and precious stones. There had never been such spices as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
10 (The servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon brought gold from Ophir;(H) they also brought algumwood[c] and precious stones. 11 The king used the algumwood to make steps for the temple of the Lord and for the royal palace, and to make harps and lyres for the musicians. Nothing like them had ever been seen in Judah.)
12 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired and asked for; he gave her more than she had brought to him. Then she left and returned with her retinue to her own country.

2 Chronicles 9:1-12
King James Version
9 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.
2 And Solomon told her all her questions: and 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 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.
5 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:
6 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.
7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
8 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.
9 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.
10 And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
11 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.
12 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.
