1Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions.
2And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels weighted down with spices, and stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.
3And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which the king did not make clear to her.
4And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,
5And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.
6And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.
7But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and now I see that it was not half the story; your wisdom and your wealth are much greater than they said.
