2 Chronicles 9 1-2 Chronicles 9 12
The queen of Sheba heard of Solomon’s fame, so she came to test Solomon with difficult questions at Jerusalem with a very large entourage, with camels bearing spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. She came to Solomon and spoke with him about everything that was on her mind.So Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for Solomon to explain to her.When the queen of Sheba observed Solomon’s wisdom, the palace he had built,the food at his table, his servants’ residence, his attendants’ service and their attire, his cupbearers and their attire, and the burnt offerings he offered at the LORD’s temple, it took her breath away.She said to the king,“ The report I heard in my own country about your words and about your wisdom is true.But I didn’t believe their reports until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, I was not even told half of your great wisdom! You far exceed the report I heard.How happy are your men. How happy are these servants of yours, who always stand in your presence hearing your wisdom.Blessed be the LORD your God! He delighted in you and put you on his throne as king for the LORD your God. Because your God loved Israel enough to establish them forever, he has set you over them as king to carry out justice and righteousness.”Then she gave the king four and a half tons of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. There never were such spices as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.In addition, Hiram’s servants and Solomon’s servants who brought gold from Ophir also brought algum wood and precious stones.The king made the algum wood into walkways for the LORD’s temple and for the king’s palace and into lyres and harps for the singers. Never before had anything like them been seen in the land of Judah.King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba her every desire, whatever she asked— far more than she had brought the king. Then she, along with her servants, returned to her own country.

1 Kings 10 1-1 Kings 10 13
The queen of Sheba heard about Solomon’s fame connected with the name of the LORD and came to test him with difficult questions.She came to Jerusalem with a very large entourage, with camels bearing spices, gold in great abundance, and precious stones. She came to Solomon and spoke to him about everything that was on her mind.So Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for the king to explain to her.When the queen of Sheba observed all of Solomon’s wisdom, the palace he had built,the food at his table, his servants’ residence, his attendants’ service and their attire, his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he offered at the LORD’s temple, it took her breath away.She said to the king,“ The report I heard in my own country about your words and about your wisdom is true.But I didn’t believe the reports until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, I was not even told half. Your wisdom and prosperity far exceed the report I heard.How happy are your men. How happy are these servants of yours, who always stand in your presence hearing your wisdom.Blessed be the LORD your God! He delighted in you and put you on the throne of Israel, because of the LORD’s eternal love for Israel. He has made you king to carry out justice and righteousness.”Then she gave the king four and a half tons of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again did such a quantity of spices arrive as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.In addition, Hiram’s fleet that carried gold from Ophir brought from Ophir a large quantity of almug wood and precious stones.The king made the almug wood into steps for the LORD’s temple and the king’s palace and into lyres and harps for the singers. Never before did such almug wood arrive, and the like has not been seen again.King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba her every desire— whatever she asked— besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. Then she, along with her servants, returned to her own country.
