1 Kings 10:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ But I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes! And there's so much I didn't hear about. You are wiser and richer than I was told. ⁸ Your wives^[a] and officials are lucky to be here where they can listen to the wise things you say.

⁹ I praise the Lord your God. He is pleased with you and has made you king of Israel. The Lord has always loved Israel, so he has given them a king who will rule fairly and honestly.
