1 Kings 10 1-1 Kings 10 13
When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning Yahweh’s name, she came to test him with hard questions.She came to Jerusalem with a very great caravan, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her.When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,the food of his table, the sitting of his servants, the attendance of his officials, their clothing, his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to Yahweh’s house; there was no more spirit in her.She said to the king,“ It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.However I didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.Happy are your men, happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.Blessed is Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because Yahweh loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness.”She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was there such an abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir, also brought in from Ophir great quantities of almug trees and precious stones.The king made of the almug trees pillars for Yahweh’s house, and for the king’s house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers; no such almug trees came or were seen, to this day.King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, in addition to that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.

Hebrews 1:2-4
has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.

When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to test Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great caravan, including camels that bore spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. When she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from Solomon which he didn’t tell her.When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers, their clothing, his cup bearers also, their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to Yahweh’s house; there was no more spirit in her.She said to the king,“ It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.However I didn’t believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold half of the greatness of your wisdom wasn’t told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom.Blessed be Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God; because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever. Therefore he made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great abundance, and precious stones. There was never before such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.The servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees and precious stones.The king used algum tree wood to make terraces for Yahweh’s house and for the king’s house, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers. There were none like these seen before in the land of Judah.King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, in addition to that which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
