2 Chronicles 9:1-4

Contemporary English Version

The Queen of Sheba Visits Solomon

(1 Kings 10.1-13)

9 ^(A) The Queen of Sheba heard how famous Solomon was, so she went to Jerusalem to test him with difficult questions. She took along several of her officials, and she loaded her camels with gifts of spices, jewels, and gold. When she arrived, she and Solomon talked about everything she could think of. ² He answered every question, no matter how difficult it was.

^3-4 The Queen was amazed at Solomon's wisdom. She was breathless when she saw his palace,^[a] the food on his table, his officials, all his servants in their uniforms, and the sacrifices he offered at the Lord's temple.
