1 Kings 10:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Howbeit I believed not this report, till I came, and had seen it with mine eyes: but lo, the one half was not told me: for thou hast more wisdom and prosperity, than I have heard by report.
8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand ever before thee, and hear thy [a]wisdom.
9 Blessed be the Lord thy God, which [b]loved thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel, because the Lord loved Israel forever, and made thee king to do [c]equity and righteousness.
