Chinese New Version (Simplified)
示巴女王来访所罗门(A)
9 示巴女王听见所罗门的名声，就来到耶路撒冷，要用难题试试所罗门。跟随她的人很多，又有骆驼驮着香料、大批黄金和宝石。她来到所罗门那里，就把她心里所有的难题，都对所罗门说出来。 2 所罗门把她的一切难题，都给她解答了；没有一样难倒所罗门，不能给她解答的。 3 示巴女王看见所罗门的智慧和他建造的宫殿， 4 他席上的食物，群臣的座位，仆人的侍候和他们的服饰，酒政和酒政的服饰，以及所罗门在耶和华殿里所献的燔祭，就十分惊讶。 5 于是她对王说：“我在本国听见关于你的事和你的智慧，实在是真的。 6 我先前不信他们的话，等到我来了，亲眼看见了，才知道你智慧的伟大，人告诉我的还不到一半。你实在是见面胜似闻名。 7 属你的人是有福的，你的臣仆是有福的，因为他们可以常常侍立在你面前，聆听你的智慧。 8 耶和华你的 神是应当称颂的，因他喜悦你，使你坐在他的王位上，为耶和华你的 神作王；因为你的 神爱以色列人，要永远坚立他们，所以立你作他们的王，好秉公行义。”
示巴女王赠送的礼物(B)
9 于是示巴女王把约四千公斤金子、大批香料和宝石送给所罗门王；示巴女王送给所罗门王的香料，是犹大地从来没有过的。 10 希兰的仆人和所罗门的仆人从俄斐把黄金运来，也把檀香木和宝石运了来。 11 王用檀香木为耶和华的殿和王宫作了台阶，又为唱歌的人作了琴瑟；像这样的东西，是在犹大地从来没有见过的。
所罗门的回礼(C)
12 所罗门王按着示巴女王带来给他的，回送她礼物；此外，还把女王所愿所求的，都送给她，于是女王和她的臣仆都返回本国去了。
所罗门的财富与智慧(D)
13 所罗门每年所得的金子，共重两万三千公斤， 14 另外，还有从商人和行商运来的，阿拉伯诸王和本国的各总督，都把金银运来给所罗门。 15 所罗门王用锤炼好的金子做了二百面大盾牌，每一面大盾牌用锤炼好的金子七公斤。 16 又用锤炼好的金子做了三百面小盾牌，每一面小盾牌用锤炼好的金子约三公斤；王把这些盾牌都放在黎巴嫩林宫。
17 王用象牙做了一个大宝座，包上纯金。 18 宝座有六级台阶，又用金脚凳和宝座相连，座位两边都有扶手，扶手旁边各有一只狮子站立。 19 六级台阶上共有十二只狮子站立；每级两只，一左一右；在列国中都没有这样做的。 20 所罗门王的一切杯爵都是金的；黎巴嫩林宫里的一切器皿都是精金做的；在所罗门的时代，银子算不得甚么。 21 因为王的船只和希兰的仆人一同到他施去；往他施的船只每三年回来一次，载着金银、象牙、猿猴和孔雀回来。
22 所罗门王的财富和智慧，胜过世上的列王。 23 世上的列王都求见所罗门的面，要听 神赐给他的智慧。 24 他们各人带来的礼物有：银器、金器、衣服、兵器、香料、骡马；每年都有一定的数量。
25 所罗门有四千马廊的车马，还有马兵一万二千，他把这些人马安置在囤车城和耶路撒冷，就是与王在一起。 26 所罗门统治列王，从幼发拉底河到非利士地，直到埃及的边界。 27 王在耶路撒冷使银子好象石头，使香柏木好象平原的桑树那么多。 28 人们从埃及和各地把马匹运到所罗门那里。
所罗门逝世(E)
29 所罗门其余的事迹，一生的始末，不是都记在拿单先知的记录上，示罗人亚希雅的预言上，以及先见易多论到尼八的儿子耶罗波安的启示录上吗？ 30 所罗门在耶路撒冷作王统治全以色列共四十年。 31 所罗门和他的列祖同睡，埋葬在他父亲大卫的城里；他的儿子罗波安接续他作王。
2 Chronicles 9
New Life Version
The Queen of Sheba Visits Solomon
9 The queen of Sheba heard how well Solomon was known in all the lands. So she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. She came with many servants and camels carrying spices and much gold and stones of much worth. When she came to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was on her heart. 2 And Solomon answered all her questions. There was nothing hidden from him which he could not make clear to her. 3 Then the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon and the house he had built. 4 She saw the food at his table, and all his captains sitting there. She saw all those who were bringing in the food, and how they were dressed. She saw those who carried the cups, and their clothing. And she saw the burnt gifts that Solomon gave at the house of the Lord. After that, there was no more spirit in her. 5 She said to the king, “The news was true which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom. 6 But I did not believe the news until I came and saw it with my own eyes. See, half the greatness of your wisdom was not told to me. You are greater than what I had heard. 7 Happy are your men! Happy are your servants who stand in front of you all the time hearing your wisdom! 8 Praise be to the Lord your God Who was pleased with you! He set you on His throne as king for the Lord your God. Your God loved Israel and would have them last forever. So He made you king over them to do what is fair and right and good.” 9 Then she gave the king gold weighing as much as 120 men, a very large amount of spices, and stones of much worth. There had never been spices like what the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
10 Huram’s servants and Solomon’s servants brought gold from Ophir. They also brought algum trees and stones of much worth. 11 The king used the algum wood to make steps for the house of the Lord and for the king’s house. And he used it to make different kinds of harps for the singers. There were none seen like them before in the land of Judah.
12 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she asked for, much more than she had brought to him. Then she returned to her own land with her servants.
King Solomon’s Riches
13 The gold that came to Solomon in one year weighed as much as 666 men. 14 Traders and men who buy and sell brought gold also. And all the kings of Arabia and the leaders of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon. 15 King Solomon made 200 battle-coverings of beaten gold. The beaten gold he used to make each large covering was as much as 600 gold pieces. 16 And he made 300 battle-coverings of beaten gold, using as much as 300 gold pieces worth of gold for each covering. The king put them in the House of the Trees of Lebanon.
17 The king made a great throne of ivory and covered it with pure gold. 18 There were six steps to the throne, and a part made of gold for his feet was joined to the throne. The throne had arms on each side, and two lions standing beside the arms. 19 Twelve lions were standing on each side of the six steps. Nothing like it had ever been made for the king of any other nation. 20 All King Solomon’s cups were made of gold. And all the cups of the House of the Trees of Lebanon were made of pure gold. Silver was not thought of as having much worth in the days of Solomon. 21 For the king had ships which went to Tarshish with Huram’s servants. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
22 So King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. 23 And all the kings of the earth wanted to be with Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put into his heart. 24 Every one of them brought his gift. Objects of silver and gold, clothing, objects for battle, spices, horses and donkeys, were brought each year.
25 Solomon had 4,000 rooms for horses and war-wagons, and 12,000 horsemen. He put them in the war-wagon cities and with the king in Jerusalem. 26 He was the ruler over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the land of Egypt. 27 And the king made silver as easy to find as stones in Jerusalem. He made cedar trees as easy to find as sycamore trees in the valley. 28 And horses were brought in for Solomon from Egypt and from all countries.
Death of Solomon
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, from first to last, are written in the words of Nathan the man of God. They are written in the holy words of Ahijah the Shilonite. And they are written in the special dreams of Iddo, the man who tells what will happen in the future, about Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 30 Solomon ruled forty years in Jerusalem over all Israel. 31 When he died he was buried in the city of his father David. And his son Rehoboam ruled in his place.

示巴女王拜訪所羅門
9 示巴女王聽聞所羅門的名聲，便來用難題考問他。她率領許多隨從，用駱駝馱著香料、寶石和大量的黃金到耶路撒冷晉見所羅門王，與所羅門談論她心中的疑問。 2 所羅門王解答了她所有的問題，沒有一樣難得住他。 3 示巴女王看見所羅門的智慧，又看見他建的宮殿、 4 席上的美味、入座的群臣、侍立一旁的僕人、他們的服裝、酒政、以及他在耶和華殿裡獻的燔祭，感到萬分驚奇。 5 她對所羅門王說：「我在本國聽到的有關你的功業和智慧原來都是真的。 6 若不是親眼目睹，我不會相信。事實上，我聽到的還不到一半！你的智慧遠超過我聽到的傳聞。 7 你的臣僕經常侍立在你面前聆聽智慧之言，真有福氣！ 8 你的上帝耶和華當受稱頌！祂喜愛你，立你做王統治祂的子民。因為你的上帝愛以色列人，要使他們永遠堅立，所以立你為他們的王，使你秉公行義。」
9 示巴女王將四噸黃金、大量香料和寶石獻給所羅門王。再無人像示巴女王那樣獻給所羅門王那麼多香料。 10 希蘭的僕人和所羅門的僕人從俄斐運來黃金、檀香木和寶石。 11 所羅門王用這些檀香木建造耶和華的殿和王宮的階梯，又製作歌樂手的琴瑟。在猶大從來沒有見過這樣的物品。 12 所羅門王滿足了示巴女王的一切要求，回贈她的禮物超過了她帶來的。之後，女王和隨從就回示巴去了。
所羅門王的財富
13 所羅門每年收到的黃金約二十三噸， 14 此外還有商人、阿拉伯諸王和國內各總督送給他的金銀。 15 所羅門王用錘好的金子打造了二百面大盾牌，每面用七公斤金子； 16 又用錘好的金子打造了三百面小盾牌，每面用三點五公斤金子，全部放在黎巴嫩林宮。 17 王又造了一個象牙大寶座，外面用純金包裹。 18 這寶座有六級臺階，又有金腳凳與寶座相連，寶座兩旁有扶手，扶手兩邊各站著一頭獅子， 19 六級臺階上共站著十二頭獅子，每級臺階兩端各站一頭。這寶座舉世無雙。 20 所羅門王所有的杯子都是金的，黎巴嫩林宮裡所有的器皿都是純金的，沒有一件是用銀子造的，因為所羅門年間銀子不算什麼。 21 王有船隊與希蘭的僕人一起出海去他施，每三年就運回金銀、象牙、猿猴和孔雀。 22 所羅門王的財富和智慧超過天下諸王。 23 天下的君王都紛紛來朝見所羅門，聆聽上帝賜給他的智言慧語。 24 他們年年都帶來禮物，有金銀器皿、衣服、兵器、香料和騾馬。 25 所羅門有四千個安置戰車和馬匹的棚，有一萬二千名騎兵，駐紮在屯車城和他所在的耶路撒冷。 26 所羅門統管從幼發拉底河到非利士地區，遠至埃及邊境的諸王。 27 王使耶路撒冷的金銀多如石頭，使香柏木多如丘陵的無花果樹。 28 所羅門的馬匹都是從埃及和其他國家運來的。
所羅門逝世
29 所羅門一生的事蹟，自始至終都記在拿單先知的史記、示羅人亞希雅的《預言書》和易多先見論尼八的兒子耶羅波安的《啟示書》中。 30 所羅門在耶路撒冷統治以色列四十年， 31 他與祖先同眠後，葬在他父親大衛的城裡。他兒子羅波安繼位。
