2 Chronicles 9

KJV

1  And when the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ heard^{8085 853} of the fame⁸⁰⁸⁸ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ she came⁹³⁵ to prove^{5254 853} Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ with hard questions²⁴²⁰ at Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ with a very³⁹⁶⁶ great³⁵¹⁵ company,²⁴²⁸ and camels¹⁵⁸¹ that bore⁵³⁷⁵ spices,¹³¹⁴ and gold²⁰⁹¹ in abundance,⁷²³⁰ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones:⁶⁸ and when she was come⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ she communed¹⁶⁹⁶ with⁵⁹⁷³ him ⁸⁵³ of all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ was¹⁹⁶¹ in⁵⁹⁷³ her heart.³⁸²⁴

2  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ her ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ her questions:¹⁶⁹⁷ and there was nothing^{3808 1697} hid⁵⁹⁵⁶ from Solomon^{4480 8010} which⁸³⁴ he told⁵⁰⁴⁶ her not.³⁸⁰⁸

3  And when the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ had seen^{7200 853} the wisdom²⁴⁵¹ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ and the house¹⁰⁰⁴ that⁸³⁴ he had built,¹¹²⁹

4  And the meat³⁹⁷⁸ of his table,⁷⁹⁷⁹ and the sitting⁴¹⁸⁶ of his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and the attendance⁴⁶¹² of his ministers,⁸³³⁴ and their apparel;⁴⁴⁰³ his cupbearers⁴⁹⁴⁵ also, and their apparel;⁴⁴⁰³ and his ascent⁵⁹⁴⁴ by which⁸³⁴ he went up⁵⁹²⁷ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ there was¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ in her.

5  And she said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ It was a true⁵⁷¹ report¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ I heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ in mine own land⁷⁷⁶ of⁵⁹²¹ thine acts,¹⁶⁹⁷ and of⁵⁹²¹ thy wisdom:²⁴⁵¹

6  Howbeit I believed⁵³⁹ not³⁸⁰⁸ their words,¹⁶⁹⁷ until^{5704 834} I came,⁹³⁵ and mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ had seen⁷²⁰⁰ it: and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the one half²⁶⁷⁷ of the greatness⁴⁷⁶⁸ of thy wisdom²⁴⁵¹ was not³⁸⁰⁸ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ me: for thou exceedest^{3254 5921} the fame⁸⁰⁵² that⁸³⁴ I heard.⁸⁰⁸⁵

7  Happy⁸³⁵ are thy men,³⁷⁶ and happy⁸³⁵ are these⁴²⁸ thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ which stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ continually⁸⁵⁴⁸ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, and hear^{8085 853} thy wisdom.²⁴⁵¹

8  Blessed¹²⁸⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God,⁴³⁰ which⁸³⁴ delighted²⁶⁵⁴ in thee to set⁵⁴¹⁴ thee on⁵⁹²¹ his throne,³⁶⁷⁸ to be king⁴⁴²⁸ for the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God:⁴³⁰ because thy God⁴³⁰ loved^{160 853} Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ to establish⁵⁹⁷⁵ them forever,⁵⁷⁶⁹ therefore made⁵⁴¹⁴ he thee king⁴⁴²⁸ over⁵⁹²¹ them, to do⁶²¹³ judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ and justice.⁶⁶⁶⁶

9  And she gave⁵⁴¹⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and twenty⁶²⁴² talents³⁶⁰³ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and of spices¹³¹⁴ great³⁹⁶⁶ abundance,⁷²³⁰ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones:⁶⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ there any such¹⁹³¹ spice¹³¹⁴ as⁸³⁴ the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba⁷⁶¹⁴ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

10  And the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ also¹⁵⁷¹ of Huram,²⁴³⁸ and the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ which⁸³⁴ brought⁹³⁵ gold²⁰⁹¹ from Ophir,^{4480 211} brought⁹³⁵ algum⁴¹⁸ trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ and precious³³⁶⁸ stones.⁶⁸

11  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ made^{6213 853} of the algum⁴¹⁸ trees⁶⁰⁸⁶ terraces⁴⁵⁴⁶ to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and to the king's⁴⁴²⁸ palace,¹⁰⁰⁴ and harps³⁶⁵⁸ and psalteries⁵⁰³⁵ for singers:⁷⁸⁹¹ and there were none³⁸⁰⁸ such¹⁹⁹² seen⁷²⁰⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Judah.³⁰⁶³

12  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ gave⁵⁴¹⁴ to the queen⁴⁴³⁶ of Sheba^{7614 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ her desire,²⁶⁵⁶ whatsoever⁸³⁴ she asked,⁷⁵⁹² beside^{4480 905} that which⁸³⁴ she had brought⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ the king.⁴⁴²⁸ So she turned,²⁰¹⁵ and went away¹⁹⁸⁰ to her own land,⁷⁷⁶ she¹⁹³¹ and her servants.⁵⁶⁵⁰

13  Now the weight⁴⁹⁴⁸ of gold²⁰⁹¹ that⁸³⁴ came⁹³⁵ to Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ in one²⁵⁹ year⁸¹⁴¹ was¹⁹⁶¹ six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and threescore⁸³⁴⁶ and six⁸³³⁷ talents³⁶⁰³ of gold;²⁰⁹¹

14  Beside⁹⁰⁵ that which chapmen^{4480 376 8446} and merchants⁵⁵⁰³ brought.⁹³⁵ And all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Arabia⁶¹⁵² and governors⁶³⁴⁶ of the country⁷⁷⁶ brought⁹³⁵ gold²⁰⁹¹ and silver³⁷⁰¹ to Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

15  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ made⁶²¹³ two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ targets⁶⁷⁹³ of beaten⁷⁸²⁰ gold:²⁰⁹¹ six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels of beaten⁷⁸²⁰ gold²⁰⁹¹ went⁵⁹²⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ one²⁵⁹ target.⁶⁷⁹³

16  And three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shields⁴⁰⁴³ made he of beaten⁷⁸²⁰ gold:²⁰⁹¹ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels of gold²⁰⁹¹ went⁵⁹²⁷ to⁵⁹²¹ one²⁵⁹ shield.⁴⁰⁴³ And the king⁴⁴²⁸ put⁵⁴¹⁴ them in the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the forest³²⁹³ of Lebanon.³⁸⁴⁴

17  Moreover the king⁴⁴²⁸ made⁶²¹³ a great¹⁴¹⁹ throne³⁶⁷⁸ of ivory,⁸¹²⁷ and overlaid⁶⁸²³ it with pure²⁸⁸⁹ gold.²⁰⁹¹

18  And there were six⁸³³⁷ steps⁴⁶⁰⁹ to the throne,³⁶⁷⁸ with a footstool³⁵³⁴ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ which were fastened²⁷⁰ to the throne,³⁶⁷⁸ and stays³⁰²⁷ on each side^{4480 2088 4480 2088} of⁵⁹²¹ the sitting⁷⁶⁷⁵ place,⁴⁷²⁵ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ lions⁷³⁸ standing⁵⁹⁷⁵ by⁶⁸¹ the stays:³⁰²⁷

19  And twelve^{8147 6240} lions⁷³⁸ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ there⁸⁰³³ on the one side^{4480 2088} and on the other^{4480 2088} upon⁵⁹²¹ the six⁸³³⁷ steps.⁴⁶⁰⁹ There was not³⁸⁰⁸ the like³⁶⁵¹ made⁶²¹³ in any³⁶⁰⁵ kingdom.⁴⁴⁶⁷

20  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the drinking⁴⁹⁴⁵ vessels³⁶²⁷ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ were of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the vessels³⁶²⁷ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of the forest³²⁹³ of Lebanon³⁸⁴⁴ were of pure⁵⁴⁶² gold:²⁰⁹¹ none³⁶⁹ were of silver;³⁷⁰¹ it was not any thing³⁹⁷² accounted²⁸⁰³ of in the days³¹¹⁷ of Solomon.⁸⁰¹⁰

21  For³⁵⁸⁸ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ ships⁵⁹¹ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to Tarshish⁸⁶⁵⁹ with⁵⁹⁷³ the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Huram:²³⁶¹ every three⁷⁹⁶⁹ years⁸¹⁴¹ once²⁵⁹ came⁹³⁵ the ships⁵⁹¹ of Tarshish⁸⁶⁵⁹ bringing⁵³⁷⁵ gold,²⁰⁹¹ and silver,³⁷⁰¹ ivory,⁸¹⁴³ and apes,⁶⁹⁷¹ and peacocks.⁸⁵⁰⁰

22  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ passed¹⁴³¹ all^{4480 3605} the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ in riches⁶²³⁹ and wisdom.²⁴⁵¹

23  And all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ sought^{1245 853} the presence⁶⁴⁴⁰ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ to hear^{8085 853} his wisdom,²⁴⁵¹ that⁸³⁴ God⁴³⁰ had put⁵⁴¹⁴ in his heart.³⁸²⁰

24  And they¹⁹⁹² brought⁹³⁵ every man³⁷⁶ his present,⁴⁵⁰³ vessels³⁶²⁷ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and vessels³⁶²⁷ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and raiment,⁸⁰⁰⁸ harness,⁵⁴⁰² and spices,¹³¹⁴ horses,⁵⁴⁸³ and mules,⁶⁵⁰⁵ a rate¹⁶⁹⁷ year⁸¹⁴¹ by year.⁸¹⁴¹

25  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ had¹⁹⁶¹ four⁷⁰² thousand⁵⁰⁵ stalls⁷²³ for horses⁵⁴⁸³ and chariots,⁴⁸¹⁸ and twelve^{8147 6240} thousand⁵⁰⁵ horsemen;⁶⁵⁷¹ whom he bestowed⁵¹¹⁷ in the chariot⁷³⁹³ cities,⁵⁸⁹² and with⁵⁹⁷³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ at Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

26  And he reigned^{1961 4910} over all³⁶⁰⁵ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the river⁵¹⁰⁴ even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ the land⁷⁷⁶ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the border¹³⁶⁶ of Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

27  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ made^{5414 853} silver³⁷⁰¹ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ as stones,⁶⁸ and cedar trees⁷³⁰ made⁵⁴¹⁴ he as the sycamore trees⁸²⁵⁶ that⁸³⁴ are in the low plains⁸²¹⁹ in abundance.⁷²³⁰

28  And they brought³³¹⁸ unto Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ horses⁵⁴⁸³ out of Egypt,^{4480 4714} and out of all^{4480 3605} lands.⁷⁷⁶

29  Now the rest⁷⁶⁰⁵ of the acts¹⁶⁹⁷ of Solomon,⁸⁰¹⁰ first⁷²²³ and last,³¹⁴ are they¹⁹⁹² not³⁸⁰⁸ written³⁷⁸⁹ in⁵⁹²¹ the book¹⁶⁹⁷ of Nathan⁵⁴¹⁶ the prophet,⁵⁰³⁰ and in⁵⁹²¹ the prophecy⁵⁰¹⁶ of Ahijah²⁸¹ the Shilonite,⁷⁸⁸⁸ and in the visions²³⁷⁸ of Iddo³²⁶⁰ the seer²³⁷⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat?⁵⁰²⁸

30  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ over⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ forty⁷⁰⁵ years.⁸¹⁴¹

31  And Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ slept⁷⁹⁰¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ his fathers,¹ and he was buried⁶⁹¹² in the city⁵⁸⁹² of David¹⁷³² his father:¹ and Rehoboam⁷³⁴⁶ his son¹¹²¹ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead.⁸⁴⁷⁸

1 καὶ βασίλισσα Σαβα ἤκουσεν τὸ ὄνομα Σαλωμων καὶ ἦλθεν τοῦ πειράσαι Σαλωμων ἐν αἰνίγμασιν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ ἐν δυνάμει βαρείᾳ σφόδρα καὶ κάμηλοι αἴρουσαι ἀρώματα καὶ χρυσίον εἰς πλῆθος καὶ λίθον τίμιον καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς Σαλωμων καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντα ὅσα ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῆς

2 καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτῇ Σαλωμων πάντας τοὺς λόγους αὐτῆς καὶ οὐ παρῆλθεν λόγος ἀπὸ Σαλωμων ὃν οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῇ

3 καὶ εἶδεν βασίλισσα Σαβα τὴν σοφίαν Σαλωμων καὶ τὸν οἶκον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησεν

4 καὶ τὰ βρώματα τῶν τραπεζῶν καὶ καθέδραν παίδων αὐτοῦ καὶ στάσιν λειτουργῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἱματισμὸν αὐτῶν καὶ οἰνοχόους αὐτοῦ καὶ στολισμὸν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα ἃ ἀνέφερεν ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ ἐξ ἑαυτῆς ἐγένετο

5 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ἀληθινὸς ὁ λόγος ὃν ἤκουσα ἐν τῇ γῇ μου περὶ τῶν λόγων σου καὶ περὶ τῆς σοφίας σου

6 καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευσα τοῖς λόγοις ἕως οὗ ἦλθον καὶ εἶδον οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἀπηγγέλη μοι ἥμισυ τοῦ πλήθους τῆς σοφίας σου προσέθηκας ἐπὶ τὴν ἀκοήν ἣν ἤκουσα

7 μακάριοι οἱ ἄνδρες μακάριοι οἱ παῖδές σου οὗτοι οἱ παρεστηκότες σοι διὰ παντὸς καὶ ἀκούουσιν σοφίαν σου

8 ἔστω κύριος ὁ θεός σου ηὐλογημένος ὃς ἠθέλησέν σοι τοῦ δοῦναί σε ἐπὶ θρόνον αὐτοῦ εἰς βασιλέα τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ σου ἐν τῷ ἀγαπῆσαι κύριον τὸν θεόν σου τὸν Ισραηλ τοῦ στῆσαι αὐτὸν εἰς αἰῶνα καὶ ἔδωκέν σε ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς εἰς βασιλέα τοῦ ποιῆσαι κρίμα καὶ δικαιοσύνην

9 καὶ ἔδωκεν τῷ βασιλεῖ ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι τάλαντα χρυσίου καὶ ἀρώματα εἰς πλῆθος πολὺ καὶ λίθον τίμιον καὶ οὐκ ἦν κατὰ τὰ ἀρώματα ἐκεῖνα ἃ ἔδωκεν βασίλισσα Σαβα τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμων

10 καὶ οἱ παῖδες Σαλωμων καὶ οἱ παῖδες Χιραμ ἔφερον χρυσίον τῷ Σαλωμων ἐκ Σουφιρ καὶ ξύλα πεύκινα καὶ λίθον τίμιον

11 καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὰ ξύλα τὰ πεύκινα ἀναβάσεις τῷ οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ κιθάρας καὶ νάβλας τοῖς ᾠδοῖς καὶ οὐκ ὤφθησαν τοιαῦτα ἔμπροσθεν ἐν γῇ Ιουδα

12 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων ἔδωκεν τῇ βασιλίσσῃ Σαβα πάντα τὰ θελήματα αὐτῆς ἃ ᾔτησεν ἐκτὸς πάντων ὧν ἤνεγκεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμων καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς

13 καὶ ἦν ὁ σταθμὸς τοῦ χρυσίου τοῦ ἐνεχθέντος τῷ Σαλωμων ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἑνὶ ἑξακόσια ἑξήκοντα ἓξ τάλαντα χρυσίου

14 πλὴν τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν ὑποτεταγμένων καὶ τῶν ἐμπορευομένων ὧν ἔφερον καὶ πάντων τῶν βασιλέων τῆς Ἀραβίας καὶ σατραπῶν τῆς γῆς ἔφερον χρυσίον καὶ ἀργύριον τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμων

15 καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμων διακοσίους θυρεοὺς χρυσοῦς ἐλατούς ἑξακόσιοι χρυσοῖ καθαροὶ τῷ ἑνὶ θυρεῷ ἑξακόσιοι χρυσοῖ ἐπῆσαν ἐπὶ τὸν ἕνα θυρεόν

16 καὶ τριακοσίας ἀσπίδας ἐλατὰς χρυσᾶς τριακοσίων χρυσῶν ἀνεφέρετο ἐπὶ τὴν ἀσπίδα ἑκάστην καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰς ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν οἴκῳ δρυμοῦ τοῦ Λιβάνου

17 καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς θρόνον ἐλεφάντινον ὀδόντων μέγαν καὶ κατεχρύσωσεν αὐτὸν χρυσίῳ δοκίμῳ

18 καὶ ἓξ ἀναβαθμοὶ τῷ θρόνῳ ἐνδεδεμένοι χρυσίῳ καὶ ἀγκῶνες ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου τῆς καθέδρας καὶ δύο λέοντες ἑστηκότες παρὰ τοὺς ἀγκῶνας

19 καὶ δώδεκα λέοντες ἑστηκότες ἐκεῖ ἐπὶ τῶν ἓξ ἀναβαθμῶν ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν οὐκ ἐγενήθη οὕτως ἐν πάσῃ βασιλείᾳ

20 καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τοῦ βασιλέως Σαλωμων χρυσίου καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη οἴκου δρυμοῦ τοῦ Λιβάνου χρυσίῳ κατειλημμένα οὐκ ἦν ἀργύριον λογιζόμενον ἐν ἡμέραις Σαλωμων εἰς οὐθέν

21 ὅτι ναῦς τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐπορεύετο εἰς Θαρσις μετὰ τῶν παίδων Χιραμ ἅπαξ διὰ τριῶν ἐτῶν ἤρχετο πλοῖα ἐκ Θαρσις τῷ βασιλεῖ γέμοντα χρυσίου καὶ ἀργυρίου καὶ ὀδόντων ἐλεφαντίνων καὶ πιθήκων

22 καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη Σαλωμων ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς βασιλεῖς καὶ πλούτῳ καὶ σοφίᾳ

23 καὶ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς ἐζήτουν τὸ πρόσωπον Σαλωμων ἀκοῦσαι τῆς σοφίας αὐτοῦ ἧς ἔδωκεν ὁ θεὸς ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ

24 καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔφερον ἕκαστος τὰ δῶρα αὐτοῦ σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ καὶ σκεύη χρυσᾶ καὶ ἱματισμόν στακτὴν καὶ ἡδύσματα ἵππους καὶ ἡμιόνους τὸ κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτὸν ἐνιαυτόν

25 καὶ ἦσαν τῷ Σαλωμων τέσσαρες χιλιάδες θήλειαι ἵπποι εἰς ἅρματα καὶ δώδεκα χιλιάδες ἱππέων καὶ ἔθετο αὐτοὺς ἐν πόλεσιν τῶν ἁρμάτων καὶ μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐν Ιερουσαλημ

26 καὶ ἦν ἡγούμενος πάντων τῶν βασιλέων ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἕως γῆς ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἕως ὁρίου Αἰγύπτου

27 καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ὡς λίθους καὶ τὰς κέδρους ὡς συκαμίνους τὰς ἐν τῇ πεδινῇ εἰς πλῆθος

28 καὶ ἡ ἔξοδος τῶν ἵππων ἐξ Αἰγύπτου τῷ Σαλωμων καὶ ἐκ πάσης τῆς γῆς

29 καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι λόγοι Σαλωμων οἱ πρῶτοι καὶ οἱ ἔσχατοι ἰδοὺ γεγραμμένοι ἐπὶ τῶν λόγων Ναθαν τοῦ προφήτου καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν λόγων Αχια τοῦ Σηλωνίτου καὶ ἐν ταῖς ὁράσεσιν Ιωηλ τοῦ ὁρῶντος περὶ Ιεροβοαμ υἱοῦ Ναβατ

30 καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Σαλωμων ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ πάντα Ισραηλ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη

31 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Σαλωμων καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ροβοαμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ

1 Regina quoque Saba, cum audisset famam Salomonis, venit ut tentaret eum in ænigmatibus in Jerusalem, cum magnis opibus et camelis, qui portabant aromata, et auri plurimum, gemmasque pretiosas. Cumque venisset ad Salomonem, locuta est ei quæcumque erant in corde suo.

2 Et exposuit ei Salomon omnia quæ proposuerat: nec quidquam fuit, quod non perspicuum ei fecerit.

3 Quæ postquam vidit, sapientiam scilicet Salomonis, et domum quam ædificaverat,

4 necnon et cibaria mensæ ejus, et habitacula servorum, et officia ministrorum ejus, et vestimenta eorum, pincernas quoque et vestes eorum, et victimas quas immolabat in domo Domini: non erat præ stupore ultra in ea spiritus.

5 Dixitque ad regem: Verus est sermo quem audieram in terra mea de virtutibus et sapientia tua.

6 Non credebam narrantibus donec ipsa venissem, et vidissent oculi mei, et probassem vix medietatem sapientiæ tuæ mihi fuisse narratam: vicisti famam virtutibus tuis.

7 Beati viri tui, et beati servi tui, qui assistunt coram te omni tempore, et audiunt sapientiam tuam.

8 Sit Dominus Deus tuus benedictus, qui voluit te ordinare super thronum suum, regem Domini Dei tui. Quia diligit Deus Israël, et vult servare eum in æternum, idcirco posuit te super eum regem ut facias judicia atque justitiam.

9 Dedit autem regi centum viginti talenta auri, et aromata multa nimis, et gemmas pretiosissimas: non fuerunt aromata talia, ut hæc quæ dedit regina Saba regi Salomoni.

10 Sed et servi Hiram cum servis Salomonis attulerunt aurum de Ophir, et ligna thyina, et gemmas pretiosissimas:

11 de quibus fecit rex, de lignis scilicet thyinis, gradus in domo Domini, et in domo regia, citharas quoque, et psalteria cantoribus: numquam visa sunt in terra Juda ligna talia.

12 Rex autem Salomon dedit reginæ Saba cuncta quæ voluit, et quæ postulavit, et multo plura quam attulerat ad eum: quæ reversa abiit in terram suam cum servis suis.

13 Erat autem pondus auri quod afferebatur Salomoni per singulos annos, sexcenta sexaginta sex talenta auri,

14 excepta ea summa quam legati diversarum gentium et negotiatores afferre consueverant, omnesque reges Arabiæ, et satrapæ terrarum, qui comportabant aurum et argentum Salomoni.

15 Fecit igitur rex Salomon ducentas hastas aureas de summa sexcentorum aureorum, qui in singulis hastis expendebantur:

16 trecenta quoque scuta aurea trecentorum aureorum, quibus tegebantur singula scuta: posuitque ea rex in armentario, quod erat consitum nemore.

17 Fecit quoque rex solium eburneum grande, et vestivit illud auro mundissimo.

18 Sex quoque gradus, quibus ascendebatur ad solium, et scabellum aureum, et brachiola duo altrinsecus, et duos leones stantes juxta brachiola,

19 sed et alios duodecim leunculos stantes super sex gradus ex utraque parte: non fuit tale solium in universis regnis.

20 Omnia quoque vasa convivii regis erant aurea, et vasa domus saltus Libani ex auro purissimo. Argentum enim in diebus illis pro nihilo reputabatur.

21 Siquidem naves regis ibant in Tharsis cum servis Hiram, semel in annis tribus: et deferebant inde aurum, et argentum, et ebur, et simias, et pavos.

22 Magnificatus est igitur Salomon super omnes reges terræ præ divitiis et gloria.

23 Omnesque reges terrarum desiderabant videre faciem Salomonis, ut audirent sapientiam quam dederat Deus in corde ejus:

24 et deferebant ei munera, vasa argentea et aurea, et vestes, et arma, et aromata, equos, et mulos, per singulos annos.

25 Habuit quoque Salomon quadraginta millia equorum in stabulis, et curruum equitumque duodecim millia: constituitque eos in urbibus quadrigarum, et ubi erat rex in Jerusalem.

26 Exercuit etiam potestatem super cunctos reges a flumine Euphrate usque ad terram Philisthinorum, et usque ad terminos Ægypti.

27 Tantamque copiam præbuit argenti in Jerusalem quasi lapidum: et cedrorum tantam multitudinem velut sycomororum quæ gignuntur in campestribus.

28 Adducebantur autem ei equi de Ægypto, cunctisque regionibus.

29 Reliqua autem operum Salomonis priorum et novissimorum scripta sunt in verbis Nathan prophetæ, et in libris Ahiæ Silonitis, in visione quoque Addo videntis contra Jeroboam filium Nabat.

30 Regnavit autem Salomon in Jerusalem super omnem Israël quadraginta annis.

31 Dormivitque cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David: regnavitque Roboam filius ejus pro eo.
