2 Chronicles 9:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Howbeit, I believed not their report, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and behold, the one half of thy great wisdom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand before thee always, and hear thy wisdom.
8 Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loved thee, to set thee on his [a]throne as king, in the stead of the Lord thy God: because thy God loveth Israel, to establish it forever, therefore hath he made thee king over them, to execute judgments and justice.
