Chapter 9 And when the queen of Sheba
heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to

00:06.440 --> 00:10.860
prove Solomon with hard questions at
Jerusalem, with a very great company,

00:11.380 --> 00:15.700
and camels that bear spices, and gold in
abundance, and precious stones.

00:17.020 --> 00:20.880
And when she was come to Solomon,
she communed with him of all that was in

00:20.880 --> 00:21.460
her heart.

00:22.320 --> 00:26.520
And Solomon told her all her questions,
and there was nothing hid from Solomon

00:26.520 --> 00:27.880
which he told her not.

00:28.580 --> 00:32.700
And when the queen of Sheba had seen the
wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he

00:32.700 --> 00:36.200
had built, and the meat of his table,
and the sitting of his servants,

00:36.640 --> 00:40.760
and the attendance of his ministers,
and their apparel, his cupbearers also,

00:41.020 --> 00:45.160
and their apparel, and his ascent by which
he went up into the house of the Lord,

00:45.880 --> 00:47.320
there was no more spirit in her.

00:48.100 --> 00:53.040
And she said to the king, It was a true
report which I heard in mine own land of

00:53.040 --> 00:55.200
thine acts, and of thy wisdom.

00:56.100 --> 01:02.600
Howbeit I believed not their words,
until I came, and mine eyes had seen it.

01:03.020 --> 01:09.300
And behold, the one half of the greatness
of thy wisdom was not told me.

01:09.980 --> 01:12.220
For thou exceedest the fame that I heard.

01:12.880 --> 01:18.820
Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy
servants which stand continually before

01:18.820 --> 01:20.680
thee, and hear thy wisdom.

01:21.800 --> 01:26.620
Blessed be the Lord thy God, which
delighted in thee to set thee on his

01:26.620 --> 01:33.540
throne, to be king for the Lord thy God,
because thy God loved Israel, to establish

01:33.540 --> 01:34.400
them forever.

01:35.500 --> 01:39.980
Therefore made he the king over them,
to do judgment and justice.

01:40.300 --> 01:44.920
And she gave the king a hundred and twenty
talents of gold, and of spices great

01:44.920 --> 01:46.580
abundance, and precious stones.

01:47.320 --> 01:51.380
Neither was there any such spice as the
queen of Sheba gave king Solomon.

01:52.740 --> 01:56.700
And the servants also of Hurem,
and the servants of Solomon, which brought

01:56.700 --> 02:00.460
gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and
precious stones.

02:01.500 --> 02:05.580
And the king made of the algum trees
terraces to the house of the Lord,

02:05.820 --> 02:09.380
and to the king's palace, and harps and
psalteries for singers.

02:10.440 --> 02:13.340
And there were none such seen before in
the land of Judah.

02:13.340 --> 02:19.300
And king Solomon gave to the queen of
Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she

02:19.300 --> 02:22.340
asked, beside that which she had brought
unto the king.

02:23.220 --> 02:28.140
So she turned, and went away to her own
land, she and her servants.

02:29.340 --> 02:33.620
Now the weight of gold that came to
Solomon in one year was six hundred and

02:33.620 --> 02:38.480
threescore and six talents of gold,
beside that which chapmen and merchants

02:38.480 --> 02:38.840
brought.

02:39.540 --> 02:44.300
And all the kings of Arabia and governors
of the country brought gold and silver to

02:44.300 --> 02:44.620
Solomon.

02:46.140 --> 02:48.960
And king Solomon made two hundred targets
of beaten gold.

02:49.540 --> 02:52.780
Six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to
one target.

02:53.540 --> 02:56.100
And three hundred shields made here beaten
gold.

02:56.980 --> 02:59.720
Three hundred shekels of gold went to one
shield.

03:00.660 --> 03:03.380
And the king put them in the house of the
forest of Lebanon.

03:04.480 --> 03:09.080
Moreover, the king made a great throne of
ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.

03:10.220 --> 03:14.320
And there were six steps to the throne,
with a footstool of gold, which were

03:14.320 --> 03:19.400
fastened to the throne, and stays on each
side of the sitting place, and two lions

03:19.400 --> 03:20.700
standing by the stays.

03:21.840 --> 03:26.100
And twelve lions stood there on the one
side, and on the other upon the six steps.

03:27.300 --> 03:29.600
There was not the like made in any
kingdom.

03:29.600 --> 03:35.440
And all the drinking vessels of king
Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels

03:35.440 --> 03:38.520
of the house of the forest of Lebanon were
of pure gold.

03:39.280 --> 03:40.220
None were of silver.

03:41.160 --> 03:44.040
It was not anything accounted of in the
days of Solomon.

03:45.480 --> 03:49.040
For the king's ships went to Tarshish with
the servants of Hurun.

03:49.940 --> 03:54.380
Every three years once came the ships of
Tarshish bringing gold and silver,

03:54.780 --> 03:56.800
ivory and apes and peacocks.

03:57.500 --> 04:01.640
And king Solomon passed all the kings of
the earth in riches and wisdom.

04:02.900 --> 04:07.000
And all the kings of the earth sought the
presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom

04:07.000 --> 04:08.840
that God had put in his heart.

04:09.640 --> 04:13.840
And they brought every man his present,
vessels of silver and vessels of gold,

04:14.120 --> 04:19.280
and raiment, harness and spices,
horses and mules, a rate year by year.

04:20.120 --> 04:24.780
And Solomon had four thousand stalls for
horses and chariots, and twelve thousand

04:24.780 --> 04:29.560
horsemen whom he bestowed in the chariot
cities and with the king at Jerusalem.

04:30.820 --> 04:34.560
And he reigned over all the kings from the
river, even unto the land of the

04:34.560 --> 04:36.880
Philistines and to the border of Egypt.

04:37.620 --> 04:43.100
And the king made silver in Jerusalem as
stones, and cedar trees made here as the

04:43.100 --> 04:45.880
sycamore trees that are in the low plains
in abundance.

04:46.740 --> 04:51.060
And they brought unto Solomon horses out
of Egypt and out of all lands.

04:52.140 --> 04:56.720
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon,
first and last, are they not written in

04:56.720 --> 05:00.500
the book of Nathan the prophet,
and in the prophecy of Ahijah the

05:00.500 --> 05:05.740
Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the
seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?

05:06.880 --> 05:10.380
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all
Israel forty years.

05:11.360 --> 05:15.620
And Solomon slept with his fathers,
and he was buried in the city of David his

05:15.620 --> 05:15.960
father.

05:16.900 --> 05:19.640
And Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
