1 Kings 10

1 The queen of Sheba admireth the wisdom of Solomon. 14 Solomon's gold. 16 His targets. 18 The throne of ivory. 21 His vessels. 24 His presents. 26 His chariots and horse. 28 His tribute.

 10:1 ¶ And when the queen 4436 of Sheba 7614 heard 8085 z8802 of x853 the fame 8088 of Solomon 8010 concerning the name 8034 of the LORD, 3068 she came 935 z8799 to prove 5254 z8763 him with hard questions. 2420

 10:2 And she came 935 z8799 to Jerusalem 3389 with a very 3966 great 3515 train, 2428 with camels 1581 that bore 5375 z8802 spices, 1314 and very 3966 much 7227 gold, 2091 and precious 3368 stones: 68 and when she was come 935 z8799 to x413 Solomon, 8010 she communed 1696 z8762 with x413 him of x853 all x3605 that x834 was x1961 in x5973 her heart. 3824

 10:3 And Solomon 8010 told 5046 z8686 her x853 all x3605 her questions: 1697 there was x1961 not x3808 [any] thing 1697 hid 5956 z8737 from x4480 the king, 4428 which x834 he told 5046 z8689 her not. x3808

 10:4 And when the queen 4436 of Sheba 7614 had seen 7200 z8799 x853 all x3605 Solomon's 8010 wisdom, 2451 and the house 1004 that x834 he had built, 1129 z8804

 10:5 And the meat 3978 of his table, 7979 and the sitting 4186 of his servants, 5650 and the attendance 4612 of his ministers, 8334 z8764 and their apparel, 4403 and his cupbearers, y8248 z8688 x4945 and his ascent 5930 by which x834 he went up 5927 z8799 unto the house 1004 of the LORD; 3068 there was x1961 no x3808 more x5750 spirit 7307 in her.

 10:6 And she said 559 z8799 to x413 the king, 4428 It was x1961 a true 571 report 1697 that x834 I heard 8085 z8804 in mine own land 776 of x5921 thy acts 1697 and of x5921 thy wisdom. 2451

 10:7 Howbeit I believed 539 z8689 not x3808 the words, 1697 until x5704 x834 I came, 935 z8804 and mine eyes 5869 had seen 7200 z8799 [it]: and, behold, x2009 the half 2677 was not x3808 told 5046 z8717 me: thy wisdom 2451 and prosperity 2896 exceedeth 3254 z8689 x413 the fame 8052 which x834 I heard. 8085 z8804

 10:8 Happy 835 [are] thy men, y582 x376 happy 835 [are] these x428 thy servants, 5650 which stand 5975 z8802 continually 8548 before 6440 thee, [and] that hear 8085 z8802 x853 thy wisdom. 2451

 10:9 Blessed 1288 z8803 be x1961 the LORD 3068 thy God, 430 which x834 delighted 2654 z8804 in thee, to set 5414 z8800 thee on x5921 the throne 3678 of Israel: 3478 because the LORD 3068 loved y160 x157 x853 Israel 3478 forever, 5769 therefore made 7760 z8799 he thee king, 4428 to do 6213 z8800 judgment 4941 and justice. 6666

 10:10 And she gave 5414 z8799 the king 4428 a hundred 3967 and twenty 6242 talents 3603 of gold, 2091 and of spices 1314 very 3966 great store, 7235 z8687 and precious 3368 stones: 68 there came 935 z8804 no x3808 more x5750 such 1931 abundance 7230 of spices 1314 as these which x834 the queen 4436 of Sheba 7614 gave 5414 z8804 to king 4428 Solomon. 8010

 10:11 And the navy 590 also x1571 of Hiram, 2438 that x834 brought 5375 z8804 gold 2091 from Ophir, 211 x4480 brought in 935 z8689 from Ophir 211 x4480 great 3966 plenty 7235 z8687 of almug 484 trees, 6086 and precious 3368 stones. 68

 10:12 And the king 4428 made 6213 z8799 of x853 the almug 484 trees 6086 pillars 4552 for the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and for the king's 4428 house, 1004 harps 3658 also and psalteries 5035 for singers: 7891 z8802 there came 935 z8804 no x3808 such x3651 almug 484 trees, 6086 nor x3808 were seen 7200 z8738 unto x5704 this x2088 day. 3117

 10:13 And king 4428 Solomon 8010 gave 5414 z8804 unto the queen 4436 of Sheba 7614 x853 all x3605 her desire, 2656 whatsoever x834 she asked, 7592 z8804 beside x4480 x905 [that] which x834 Solomon 8010 gave 5414 z8804 her of his royal y4428 bounty. 3027 x4428 So she turned 6437 z8799 and went y3212 z8799 x1980 to her own country, 776 she x1931 and her servants. 5650

 10:14 ¶ Now the weight 4948 of gold 2091 that x834 came 935 z8804 to Solomon 8010 in one 259 year 8141 was x1961 six 8337 hundred 3967 threescore 8346 and six 8337 talents 3603 of gold, 2091

 10:15 Beside x905 [that he had] of the merchantmen, 8446 y582 z8802 x4480 x376 and of the traffic 4536 of the spice merchants, 7402 z8802 and of all x3605 the kings 4428 of Arabia, y6153 x6154 and of the governors 6346 of the country. 776

 10:16 ¶ And king 4428 Solomon 8010 made 6213 z8799 two hundred 3967 targets 6793 [of] beaten 7820 z8803 gold: 2091 six 8337 hundred 3967 [shekels] of gold 2091 went 5927 z8686 to x5921 one 259 target. 6793

 10:17 And [he made] three 7969 hundred 3967 shields 4043 [of] beaten 7820 z8803 gold; 2091 three 7969 pound 4488 of gold 2091 went 5927 z8686 to x5921 one 259 shield: 4043 and the king 4428 put 5414 z8799 them in the house 1004 of the forest 3293 of Lebanon. 3844

 10:18 ¶ Moreover the king 4428 made 6213 z8799 a great 1419 throne 3678 of ivory, 8127 and overlaid 6823 z8762 it with the best 6338 z8716 gold. 2091

 10:19 The throne 3678 had six 8337 steps, 4609 and the top 7218 of the throne 3678 [was] round 5696 behind: 310 x4480 and [there were] stays 3027 on either side 4480 2088 on x413 the place 4725 of the seat, 7675 z8800 and two 8147 lions 738 stood 5975 z8802 beside 681 the stays. 3027

 10:20 And twelve 8147 6240 lions 738 stood 5975 z8802 there x8033 on x5921 the one side x4480 x2088 and on the other x4480 x2088 upon the six 8337 steps: 4609 there was not x3808 the like 3651 made 6213 z8738 in any x3605 kingdom. 4467

 10:21 ¶ And all x3605 king 4428 Solomon's 8010 drinking 4945 vessels 3627 [were of] gold, 2091 and all x3605 the vessels 3627 of the house 1004 of the forest 3293 of Lebanon 3844 [were of] pure 5462 z8803 gold; 2091 none x369 [were of] silver: 3701 it was nothing 3972 x3808 accounted 2803 z8737 of in the days 3117 of Solomon. 8010

 10:22 For x3588 the king 4428 had at sea 3220 a navy 590 of Tharshish 8659 with x5973 the navy 590 of Hiram: 2438 once 259 in three 7969 years 8141 came 935 z8799 the navy 590 of Tharshish, 8659 bringing 5375 z8802 gold, 2091 and silver, 3701 ivory, 8143 and apes, 6971 and peacocks. 8500

 10:23 So king 4428 Solomon 8010 exceeded y1431 z8799 all x1431 x4480 x3605 the kings 4428 of the earth 776 for riches 6239 and for wisdom. 2451

 10:24 ¶ And all x3605 the earth 776 sought 1245 z8764 x853 to 6440 Solomon, 8010 to hear 8085 z8800 x853 his wisdom, 2451 which x834 God 430 had put 5414 z8804 in his heart. 3820

 10:25 And they x1992 brought 935 z8688 every man 376 his present, 4503 vessels 3627 of silver, 3701 and vessels 3627 of gold, 2091 and garments, 8008 and armor, 5402 and spices, 1314 horses, 5483 and mules, 6505 a rate 1697 year 8141 by year. 8141

 10:26 ¶ And Solomon 8010 gathered together 622 z8799 chariots 7393 and horsemen: 6571 and he had x1961 a thousand 505 and four 702 hundred 3967 chariots, 7393 and twelve 8147 6240 thousand 505 horsemen, 6571 whom he bestowed 5148 z8686 in the cities 5892 for chariots, 7393 and with x5973 the king 4428 at Jerusalem. 3389

 10:27 And the king 4428 made 5414 z8799 x853 silver 3701 [to be] in Jerusalem 3389 as stones, 68 and cedars 730 made 5414 z8804 he [to be] as the sycamore trees 8256 that x834 [are] in the vale, 8219 for abundance. 7230

 10:28 ¶ And Solomon 8010 had horses 5483 brought 4161 out of Egypt, 4714 x4480 and linen yarn: 4723 x4480 the king's 4428 merchants 5503 z8802 received 3947 z8799 the linen yarn 4723 x4480 at a price. 4242

 10:29 And a chariot 4818 came up 5927 z8799 and went out 3318 z8799 of Egypt 4714 x4480 for six 8337 hundred 3967 [shekels] of silver, 3701 and a horse 5483 for a hundred 3967 and fifty: 2572 and so x3651 for all x3605 the kings 4428 of the Hittites, 2850 and for the kings 4428 of Syria, 758 did they bring [them] out 3318 z8686 by their means. 3027
