1 Kings 10:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ “but I didn’t believe it at first! But then I came here and I’ve seen it for myself! It’s amazing! I wasn’t told half of what’s really great about your wisdom. You’re far better in person than what the reports have said about you! ⁸ How blessed are your staff! And how blessed are your employees,^[a] who serve you continuously and get to listen to your wisdom! ⁹ And blessed be the Lord your God, who is delighted with you! He set you in place on the throne of Israel because the Lord loved Israel forever. That’s why he made you to be king, so you could carry out justice and implement righteousness.”
