절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	The Queen of Sheba Visits Solomon The Queen of Sheba heard how famous Solomon was, so she went to Jerusalem to test him with difficult questions.	And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with hard questions.
2	She took along several of her officials, and she loaded her camels with gifts of spices, jewels, and gold. When she arrived, she and Solomon talked about everything she could think of.	And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
3	He answered every question, no matter how difficult it was.	And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
4	—	And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon’s wisdom, and the house that he had built,
5	The Queen was amazed at Solomon's wisdom. She was breathless when she saw his palace, the food on his table, his officials, his servants in their uniforms, the people who served his food, and the sacrifices he offered at the Lord's temple.	And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the Lord; there was no more spirit in her.
6	She said: Solomon, in my own country I had heard about your wisdom and all you've done.	And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
7	But I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes! And there's so much I didn't hear about. You are wiser and richer than I was told.	Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
8	Your wives and officials are lucky to be here where they can listen to the wise things you say.	Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
9	I praise the Lord your God. He is pleased with you and has made you king of Israel. The Lord has always loved Israel, so he has given them a king who will rule fairly and honestly.	Blessed be the Lord thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the Lord loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.
10	The Queen of Sheba gave Solomon more than four tons of gold, many jewels, and more spices than anyone had ever brought into Israel.	And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
11	—	And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.
12	—	And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the Lord, and for the king’s house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.
13	In return, Solomon gave her the gifts he would have given any other ruler, but he also gave her everything else she wanted. Then she and her officials went back to their own country. () King Hiram's ships brought gold, juniper wood, and jewels from the country of Ophir. Solomon used the wood to make steps for the temple and palace, and harps and other stringed instruments for the musicians. It was the best juniper wood anyone in Israel had ever seen.	And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.
14	Solomon's Wealth Solomon received almost 23 tons of gold a year.	Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,
15	The merchants and traders, as well as the kings of Arabia and rulers from Israel, also gave him gold.	Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.
16	Solomon made 200 gold shields and used almost seven kilograms of gold for each one.	And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target.
17	He also made 300 smaller gold shields, using almost two kilograms for each one, and he put the shields in his palace in Forest Hall.	And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18	His throne was made of ivory and covered with pure gold.	Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
19	—	The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.
20	The back of the throne was rounded at the top, and it had armrests on each side. There was a statue of a lion on both sides of the throne, and there was a statue of a lion at both ends of each of the six steps leading up to the throne. No other throne in the world was like Solomon's.	And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.
21	Since silver was almost worthless in those days, everything was made of gold, even the cups and dishes used in Forest Hall.	And all king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
22	Solomon had a lot of seagoing ships. Every three years he sent them out with Hiram's ships to bring back gold, silver, and ivory, as well as monkeys and peacocks.	For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
23	He was the richest and wisest king in the world.	So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
24	People from every nation wanted to hear the wisdom God had given him.	And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
25	Year after year people came and brought gifts of silver and gold, as well as clothes, weapons, spices, horses, or mules.	And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
26	Solomon had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses that he kept in Jerusalem and other towns.	And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.
27	While he was king, there was silver everywhere in Jerusalem, and cedar was as common as ordinary sycamore trees in the foothills.	And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the vale, for abundance.
28	—	And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
29	Solomon's merchants bought his horses and chariots in the regions of Musri and Kue. They paid 600 pieces of silver for a chariot and 150 pieces of silver for a horse. They also sold horses and chariots to the Hittite and Syrian kings.	And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
