2 Chronicles 9

1 The queen of Sheba admireth the wisdom of Solomon. 13 Solomon's gold. 15 His targets. 17 The throne of irvory. 20 His vessels. 23 His presents. 25 His chariots and horse. 26 His tributes. 29 His reign and death.

 9:1 ¶ And when the queen 4436 of Sheba 7614 heard 8085 z8804 x853 of the fame 8088 of Solomon, 8010 she came 935 z8799 to prove 5254 z8763 x853 Solomon 8010 with hard questions 2420 at Jerusalem, 3389 with a very 3966 great 3515 company, 2428 and camels 1581 that bore 5375 z8802 spices, 1314 and gold 2091 in abundance, 7230 and precious 3368 stones: 68 and when she was come 935 z8799 to x413 Solomon, 8010 she communed 1696 z8762 with x5973 him x853 of all x3605 that x834 was x1961 in x5973 her heart. 3824

 9:2 And Solomon 8010 told 5046 z8686 her x853 all x3605 her questions: 1697 and there was nothing x3808 x1697 hid 5956 z8738 from Solomon 8010 x4480 which x834 he told 5046 z8689 her not. x3808

 9:3 And when the queen 4436 of Sheba 7614 had seen 7200 z8799 x853 the wisdom 2451 of Solomon, 8010 and the house 1004 that x834 he had built, 1129 z8804

 9:4 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 his cupbearers y8248 z8688 x4945 also, and their apparel; 4403 and his ascent 5944 by which x834 he went up 5927 z8799 into the house 1004 of the LORD; 3068 there was x1961 no x3808 more x5750 spirit 7307 in her.

 9:5 And she said 559 z8799 to x413 the king, 4428 [It was] a true 571 report 1697 which x834 I heard 8085 z8804 in mine own land 776 of x5921 thine acts, 1697 and of x5921 thy wisdom: 2451

 9:6 Howbeit I believed 539 z8689 not x3808 their words, 1697 until x5704 x834 I came, 935 z8804 and mine eyes 5869 had seen 7200 z8799 [it]: and, behold, x2009 the one half 2677 of the greatness 4768 of thy wisdom 2451 was not x3808 told 5046 z8717 me: [for] thou exceedest 3254 z8804 x5921 the fame 8052 that x834 I heard. 8085 z8804

 9:7 Happy 835 [are] thy men, y582 x376 and happy 835 [are] these x428 thy servants, 5650 which stand 5975 z8802 continually 8548 before 6440 thee, and hear 8085 z8802 x853 thy wisdom. 2451

 9:8 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 his throne, 3678 [to be] king 4428 for the LORD 3068 thy God: 430 because thy God 430 loved 160 x853 Israel, 3478 to establish 5975 z8687 them forever, 5769 therefore made 5414 z8799 he thee king 4428 over x5921 them, to do 6213 z8800 judgment 4941 and justice. 6666

 9:9 And she gave 5414 z8799 the king 4428 a hundred 3967 and twenty 6242 talents 3603 of gold, 2091 and of spices 1314 great 3966 abundance, 7230 and precious 3368 stones: 68 neither x3808 was x1961 there any such x1931 spice 1314 as x834 the queen 4436 of Sheba 7614 gave 5414 z8804 king 4428 Solomon. 8010

 9:10 And the servants 5650 also x1571 of Huram, y2361 x2438 and the servants 5650 of Solomon, 8010 which x834 brought 935 z8689 gold 2091 from Ophir, 211 x4480 brought 935 z8689 algum 418 trees 6086 and precious 3368 stones. 68

 9:11 And the king 4428 made 6213 z8799 x853 [of] the algum 418 trees 6086 terraces 4546 to the house 1004 of the LORD, 3068 and to the king's 4428 palace, 1004 and harps 3658 and psalteries 5035 for singers: 7891 z8802 and there were none x3808 such 1992 seen 7200 z8738 before 6440 in the land 776 of Judah. 3063

 9:12 And king 4428 Solomon 8010 gave 5414 z8804 to the queen 4436 of Sheba 7614 x853 all x3605 her desire, 2656 whatsoever x834 she asked, 7592 z8804 beside x4480 x905 [that] which x834 she had brought 935 z8689 unto x413 the king. 4428 So she turned, 2015 z8799 and went away y3212 z8799 x1980 to her own land, 776 she x1931 and her servants. 5650

 9:13 ¶ 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 and threescore 8346 and six 8337 talents 3603 of gold; 2091

 9:14 Beside x905 [that which] chapmen 8446 y582 z8802 x4480 x376 and merchants 5503 z8802 brought. 935 z8688 And all x3605 the kings 4428 of Arabia 6152 and governors 6346 of the country 776 brought 935 z8688 gold 2091 and silver 3701 to Solomon. 8010

 9:15 ¶ 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 beaten 7820 z8803 gold 2091 went 5927 z8686 to x5921 one 259 target. 6793

 9:16 And three 7969 hundred 3967 shields 4043 [made he of] beaten 7820 z8803 gold: 2091 three 7969 hundred 3967 [shekels] 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

 9:17 Moreover the king 4428 made 6213 z8799 a great 1419 throne 3678 of ivory, 8127 and overlaid 6823 z8762 it with pure 2889 gold. 2091

 9:18 And [there were] six 8337 steps 4609 to the throne, 3678 with a footstool 3534 of gold, 2091 [which were] fastened 270 z8716 to the throne, 3678 and stays 3027 on each side 4480 2088 of x5921 the sitting y3427 z8800 x7675 place, 4725 and two 8147 lions 738 standing 5975 z8802 by 681 the stays: 3027

 9:19 And twelve 8147 6240 lions 738 stood 5975 z8802 there x8033 on the one side x4480 x2088 and on the other x4480 x2088 upon x5921 the six 8337 steps. 4609 There was not x3808 the like x3651 made 6213 z8738 in any x3605 kingdom. 4467

 9:20 ¶ And all x3605 the drinking 4945 vessels 3627 of king 4428 Solomon 8010 [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 [not] any y3972 thing x3972 accounted 2803 z8737 of in the days 3117 of Solomon. 8010

 9:21 For x3588 the king's 4428 ships 591 went 1980 z8802 to Tarshish 8659 with x5973 the servants 5650 of Huram: 2361 every three 7969 years 8141 once 259 came 935 z8799 the ships 591 of Tarshish 8659 bringing 5375 z8802 gold, 2091 and silver, 3701 ivory, 8143 and apes, 6971 and peacocks. 8500

 9:22 And king 4428 Solomon 8010 passed 1431 z8799 all x4480 x3605 the kings 4428 of the earth 776 in riches 6239 and wisdom. 2451

 9:23 ¶ And all x3605 the kings 4428 of the earth 776 sought 1245 z8764 x853 the presence 6440 of Solomon, 8010 to hear 8085 z8800 x853 his wisdom, 2451 that x834 God 430 had put 5414 z8804 in his heart. 3820

 9:24 And they x1992 brought 935 z8688 every man 376 his present, 4503 vessels 3627 of silver, 3701 and vessels 3627 of gold, 2091 and raiment, 8008 harness, 5402 and spices, 1314 horses, 5483 and mules, 6505 a rate 1697 year 8141 by year. 8141

 9:25 ¶ And Solomon 8010 had x1961 four 702 thousand 505 stalls 723 for horses 5483 and chariots, 4818 and twelve 8147 6240 thousand 505 horsemen; 6571 whom he bestowed y3240 z8686 x5117 in the chariot 7393 cities, 5892 and with x5973 the king 4428 at Jerusalem. 3389

 9:26 ¶ And he reigned 4910 z8802 x1961 over all x3605 the kings 4428 from x4480 the river 5104 even unto x5704 the land 776 of the Philistines, 6430 and to x5704 the border 1366 of Egypt. 4714

 9:27 And the king 4428 made 5414 z8799 x853 silver 3701 in Jerusalem 3389 as stones, 68 and cedar trees 730 made 5414 z8804 he as the sycamore trees 8256 that x834 [are] in the low plains 8219 in abundance. 7230

 9:28 And they brought 3318 z8688 unto Solomon 8010 horses 5483 out of Egypt, 4714 x4480 and out of all x4480 x3605 lands. 776

 9:29 ¶ Now the rest 7605 of the acts 1697 of Solomon, 8010 first 7223 and last, 314 [are] they x1992 not x3808 written 3789 z8803 in x5921 the book 1697 of Nathan 5416 the prophet, 5030 and in x5921 the prophecy 5016 of Ahijah 281 the Shilonite, 7888 and in the visions 2378 of Iddo 3260 the seer 2374 against x5921 Jeroboam 3379 the son 1121 of Nebat? 5028

 9:30 And Solomon 8010 reigned 4427 z8799 in Jerusalem 3389 over x5921 all x3605 Israel 3478 forty 705 years. 8141

 9:31 And Solomon 8010 slept 7901 z8799 with x5973 his fathers, 1 and he was buried 6912 z8799 in the city 5892 of David 1732 his father: 1 and Rehoboam 7346 his son 1121 reigned 4427 z8799 in his stead. x8478
