2 Chronicles 9:10-12
Easy-to-Read Version
10 Hiram’s servants brought gold from Ophir. They also brought in jewels and a special kind of wood.[a] 11 King Solomon used this special wood to make steps for the Lord’s Temple and the king’s palace. Solomon also used the algum wood to make lyres and harps for the singers. No one ever saw such beautiful things like those made from the algum wood in the country of Judah.
12 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba everything she asked for. He gave her more than she brought to give him. Then the queen of Sheba and her servants left and went back to their own country.
