And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 heardH8085 of the fameH8088 of SolomonH8010, she cameH935 to proveH5254 SolomonH8010 with hard questionsH2420 at JerusalemH3389, with a veryH3966 greatH3515 companyH2428, and camelsH1581 that bareH5375 spicesH1314, and goldH2091 in abundanceH7230, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: and when she was comeH935 to SolomonH8010, she communedH1696 with him of all that was in her heartH3824.
And SolomonH8010 toldH5046 her all her questionsH1697: and there was nothing hidH5956 from SolomonH8010 which he toldH5046 her not.
And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 had seenH7200 the wisdomH2451 of SolomonH8010, and the houseH1004 that he had builtH1129,
And the meatH3978 of his tableH7979, and the sittingH4186 of his servantsH5650, and the attendanceH4612 of his ministersH8334, and their apparelH4403; his cupbearersH8248 also, and their apparelH4403; and his ascentH5944 by which he went upH5927 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; there was no more spiritH7307 in her. {cupbearers: or, butlers}
And she saidH559 to the kingH4428, It was a trueH571 reportH1697 which I heardH8085 in mine own landH776 of thine actsH1697, and of thy wisdomH2451: {report: Heb. word} {acts: or, sayings}
Howbeit I believedH539 not their wordsH1697, until I cameH935, and mine eyesH5869 had seenH7200 it: and, behold, the one halfH2677 of the greatnessH4768 of thy wisdomH2451 was not toldH5046 me: for thou exceedestH3254 the fameH8052 that I heardH8085.
HappyH835 are thy menH582, and happyH835 are these thy servantsH5650, which standH5975 continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 thee, and hearH8085 thy wisdomH2451.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which delightedH2654 in thee to setH5414 thee on his throneH3678, to be kingH4428 for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: because thy GodH430 lovedH160 IsraelH3478, to establishH5975 them for everH5769, therefore madeH5414 he thee kingH4428 over them, to doH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666.
And she gaveH5414 the kingH4428 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and of spicesH1314 greatH3966 abundanceH7230, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: neither was there any such spiceH1314 as the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 gaveH5414 kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
And the servantsH5650 also of HuramH2361, and the servantsH5650 of SolomonH8010, which broughtH935 goldH2091 from OphirH211, broughtH935 algumH418 treesH6086 and preciousH3368 stonesH68.
And the kingH4428 madeH6213 of the algumH418 treesH6086 terracesH4546 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and to the king'sH4428 palaceH1004, and harpsH3658 and psalteriesH5035 for singersH7891: and there were none suchH1992 seenH7200 beforeH6440 in the landH776 of JudahH3063. {terraces: or, stairs: Heb. high ways}
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 to the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 all her desireH2656, whatsoever she askedH7592, beside that which she had broughtH935 unto the kingH4428. So she turnedH2015, and went awayH3212 to her own landH776, she and her servantsH5650.
Now the weightH4948 of goldH2091 that cameH935 to SolomonH8010 in oneH259 yearH8141 was sixH8337 hundredH3967 and threescoreH8346 and sixH8337 talentsH3603 of goldH2091;
Beside that which chapmenH582+H8446 and merchantsH5503 broughtH935. And all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6152 and governorsH6346 of the countryH776 broughtH935 goldH2091 and silverH3701 to SolomonH8010. {governors: or, captains}
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 two hundredH3967 targetsH6793 of beatenH7820 goldH2091: sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of beatenH7820 goldH2091 wentH5927 to oneH259 targetH6793.
And threeH7969 hundredH3967 shieldsH4043 made he of beatenH7820 goldH2091: threeH7969 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091 wentH5927 to oneH259 shieldH4043. And the kingH4428 putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844.
Moreover the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127, and overlaidH6823 it with pureH2889 goldH2091.
And there were sixH8337 stepsH4609 to the throneH3678, with a footstoolH3534 of goldH2091, which were fastenedH270 to the throneH3678, and staysH3027 on each side of the sittingH3427 placeH4725, and twoH8147 lionsH738 standingH5975 byH681 the staysH3027: {stays: Heb. hands}
And twelveH8147+H6240 lionsH738 stoodH5975 there on the one side and on the other upon the sixH8337 stepsH4609. There was not the like madeH6213 in any kingdomH4467.
And all the drinkingH4945 vesselsH3627 of kingH4428 SolomonH8010 were of goldH2091, and all the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844 were of pureH5462 goldH2091: none were of silverH3701; it was not anyH3972 thing accountedH2803 of in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. {pure: Heb. shut up} {none were of silver: or, there was no silver in them}
For the king'sH4428 shipsH591 wentH1980 to TarshishH8659 with the servantsH5650 of HuramH2361: every threeH7969 yearsH8141 onceH259 cameH935 the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 bringingH5375 goldH2091, and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, and apesH6971, and peacocksH8500. {ivory: or, elephants' teeth}
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 passedH1431 all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 in richesH6239 and wisdomH2451.
And all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 soughtH1245 the presenceH6440 of SolomonH8010, to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451, that GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820.
And they broughtH935 every manH376 his presentH4503, vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and raimentH8008, harnessH5402, and spicesH1314, horsesH5483, and mulesH6505, a rateH1697 yearH8141 by yearH8141.
And SolomonH8010 had fourH702 thousandH505 stallsH723 for horsesH5483 and chariotsH4818, and twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571; whom he bestowedH3240 in the chariotH7393 citiesH5892, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389.
And he reignedH4910 over all the kingsH4428 from the riverH5104 even unto the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and to the borderH1366 of EgyptH4714. {river: that is, Euphrates}
And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 in JerusalemH3389 as stonesH68, and cedar treesH730 madeH5414 he as the sycomore treesH8256 that are in the low plainsH8219 in abundanceH7230. {made silver: Heb. gave silver}
And they broughtH3318 unto SolomonH8010 horsesH5483 out of EgyptH4714, and out of all landsH776.
Now the restH7605 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010, firstH7223 and lastH314, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and in the prophecyH5016 of AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888, and in the visionsH2378 of IddoH3260 the seerH2374 against JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028? {book: Heb. words}
And SolomonH8010 reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 over all IsraelH3478 fortyH705 yearsH8141.
And SolomonH8010 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and he was buriedH6912 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and RehoboamH7346 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.

Wherefore DavidH1732 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 beforeH5869 all the congregationH6951: and DavidH1732 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou, LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 our fatherH1, forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto ZadokH6659, Carry backH7725 the arkH727 of GodH430 into the cityH5892: if I shall findH4672 favourH2580 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068, he will bring me againH7725, and shewH7200 me both it, and his habitationH5116:
Then HuramH2361 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865 answeredH559 in writingH3791, which he sentH7971 to SolomonH8010, Because the LORDH3068 hath lovedH160 his peopleH5971, he hath madeH5414 thee kingH4428 over them.
And DavidH1732 reignedH4427 over all IsraelH3478; and DavidH1732 executedH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666 unto all his peopleH5971.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to all the congregationH6951, Now blessH1288 the LORDH3068 your GodH430. And all the congregationH6951 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, and bowed down their headsH6915, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068, and the kingH4428.
But if he thus sayH559, I have no delightH2654 in thee; behold, here am I, let him doH6213 to me as seemethH5869 goodH2896 unto him.
But because the LORDH3068 lovedH160 you, and because he would keepH8104 the oathH7621 which he had swornH7650 unto your fathersH1, hath the LORDH3068 brought you outH3318 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and redeemedH6299 you out of the houseH1004 of bondmenH5650, from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714.
The GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, the RockH6697 of IsraelH3478 spakeH1696 to me, He that rulethH4910 over menH120 must be justH6662, rulingH4910 in the fearH3374 of GodH430. {He…: or, Be thou ruler, etc}
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who only doethH6213 wondrous thingsH6381.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which delightedH2654 in thee, to setH5414 thee on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478: because the LORDH3068 lovedH160 IsraelH3478 for everH5769, therefore madeH7760 he thee kingH4428, to doH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666.
For thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 didst thou makeH5414 thine own peopleH5971 forH5704 everH5769; and thou, LORDH3068, becamest their GodH430.
And all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 of the judgmentH4941 which the kingH4428 had judgedH8199; and they fearedH3372 the kingH6440: for they sawH7200 that the wisdomH2451 of GodH430 was in himH7130, to doH6213 judgmentH4941. {in him: Heb. in the midst of him}
And blessedH1288 be his gloriousH3519 nameH8034 for everH5769: and let the whole earthH776 be filledH4390 with his gloryH3519; AmenH543, and AmenH543.
He brought me forthH3318 also into a large placeH4800; he deliveredH2502 me, because he delightedH2654 in me.
ForG3754 the administrationG1248 of thisG5026 serviceG3009 notG3756 onlyG3440 suppliethG2076+G4322 the wantG5303 of the saintsG40, butG235 is abundantG4052 alsoG2532 byG1223 manyG4183 thanksgivingsG2169 unto GodG2316;
Whiles byG1223 the experimentG1382 of thisG5026 ministrationG1248 they glorifyG1392 GodG2316 forG1909 yourG5216 professedG3671 subjectionG5292 untoG1519 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547, andG2532 for your liberalG572 distributionG2842 untoG1519 themG846, andG2532 untoG1519 allG3956 men;
AndG2532 by theirG846 prayerG1162 forG5228 youG5216, which long afterG1971 youG5209 forG1223 the exceedingG5235 graceG5485 of GodG2316 inG1909 youG5213.
ThanksG5485 be unto GodG2316 forG1909 hisG846 unspeakableG411 giftG1431.
He trustedH1556 on the LORDH3068 that he would deliverH6403 him: let him deliverH5337 him, seeing he delightedH2654 in him. {He trusted…: Heb. He rolled himself on} {seeing…: or, if he delight in}
The king'sH4428 strengthH5797 also lovethH157 judgmentH4941; thou dost establishH3559 equityH4339, thou executestH6213 judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666 in JacobH3290.
Behold my servantH5650, whom I upholdH8551; mine electH972, in whom my soulH5315 delightethH7521; I have putH5414 my spiritH7307 upon him: he shall bring forthH3318 judgmentH4941 to the GentilesH1471.
To doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941 is more acceptableH977 to the LORDH3068 than sacrificeH2077.
Thou shalt no more be termedH559 ForsakenH5800; neither shall thy landH776 any more be termedH559 DesolateH8077: but thou shalt be calledH7121 HephzibahH2657, and thy landH776 BeulahH1166: for the LORDH3068 delightethH2654 in thee, and thy landH776 shall be marriedH1166. {Hephzibah: that is, My delight is in her} {Beulah: that is, Married}
Of the increaseH4766 of his governmentH4951 and peaceH7965 there shall be no endH7093, upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and upon his kingdomH4467, to orderH3559 it, and to establishH5582 it with judgmentH4941 and with justiceH6666 from henceforth even forH5704 everH5769. The zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 will performH6213 this.
And there shall come forthH3318 a rodH2415 out of the stemH1503 of JesseH3448, and a BranchH5342 shall growH6509 out of his rootsH8328:
And the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall restH5117 upon him, the spiritH7307 of wisdomH2451 and understandingH998, the spiritH7307 of counselH6098 and mightH1369, the spiritH7307 of knowledgeH1847 and of the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068;
And shall make him of quick understandingH7306 in the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068: and he shall not judgeH8199 after the sightH4758 of his eyesH5869, neither reproveH3198 after the hearingH4926 of his earsH241: {quick…: Heb. scent or, smell}
But with righteousnessH6664 shall he judgeH8199 the poorH1800, and reproveH3198 with equityH4334 for the meekH6035 of the earthH776: and he shall smiteH5221 the earthH776 with the rodH7626 of his mouthH6310, and with the breathH7307 of his lipsH8193 shall he slayH4191 the wickedH7563. {reprove: or, argue}
And righteousnessH6664 shall be the girdleH232 of his loinsH4975, and faithfulnessH530 the girdleH232 of his reinsH2504.
Behold, a kingH4428 shall reignH4427 in righteousnessH6664, and princesH8269 shall ruleH8323 in judgmentH4941.
And a manH376 shall be as an hiding placeH4224 from the windH7307, and a covertH5643 from the tempestH2230; as riversH6388 of waterH4325 in a dry placeH6724, as the shadowH6738 of a greatH3515 rockH5553 in a wearyH5889 landH776. {great: Heb. heavy}
In those daysH3117, and at that timeH6256, will I cause the BranchH6780 of righteousnessH6666 to grow upH6779 unto DavidH1732; and he shall executeH6213 judgmentH4941 and righteousnessH6666 in the landH776.
In those daysH3117 shall JudahH3063 be savedH3467, and JerusalemH3389 shall dwellH7931 safelyH983: and this is the name wherewith she shall be calledH7121, The LORD our righteousnessH3072. {The LORD…: Heb. Jehovahtsidkenu}
