2 Chronicles 9Visit of the Queen of Sheba

1 that he offered at the house of the Lord, it took her breath away.

5 reports until I came and my own eyes saw it. Not even half of the greatness of your wisdom had been told to me; you far surpass the report that I had heard.

7Happy are your people! Happy are these your servants who continually attend you and hear your wisdom!

8 for the house of the Lord and for the king’s house, lyres also and harps for the singers; there never was seen the like of them before in the land of Judah.

12Meanwhile, King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba every desire that she expressed, well beyond what she had brought to the king. Then she returned to her own land with her servants.

Solomon’s Great Wealth

13 of beaten gold went into each large shield.

16He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield, and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

17The king also made a great ivory throne and overlaid it with pure gold.

22 1 Kings 3.13; 2 Chr 1.12 Thus King Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.

23All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put into his mind.

24Every one of them brought a present, objects of silver and gold, garments, weaponry, spices, horses, and mules, so much year by year.

251 Kings 4.26; 10.26; 2 Chr 1.14Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots and twelve thousand horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

261 Kings 4.21; Ps 72.8He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines and to the territory of Egypt.

271 Kings 10.27; 2 Chr 1.15The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stone and cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephelah.

281 Kings 10.28; 2 Chr 1.16Horses were imported for Solomon from Egypt and from all lands.
