out_of the_city_of Dayid unto her house which Solomon had_built for her: then did_he_build *Millo. .% And three times in @ xyear did Solomon offer“ «burnt_offerings and peace_offerings upon the altar which he built unto Jthe Lorp, and he burnt. incense upon the altar that was be- fore Jihe Lorp. So he -finished -the house.
26 And king Solomon made a navy_of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside
-Eloth, on the_shore_of the y Red sea, | 26-28.
in the_land_of Edom.
27 And Hiram sent in the navy his rservants, shipmen +that_had_know- ledge_of the sea, with the_seryants_of Solomon. L
23 And they came to eOphir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought 7 to
xking Solomon.
1 AND when the_queen_of sSheba aheard_of
mon concerning the_name_of? ¢he Lorn,
she came to prove him with hard_
questions.
2 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 rall that was in her heart.
3 And Solomon told her all -her w 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 And the_meat_of his table, and the_ sitting_of his servants, and the_s¢at- tendance_of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and / his
ascent by which he 'went_up unto the_| 28°
house_of ‘the Lord; there was no more spirit in her.
6 And she said to the king, “It was a true wreport that I heard in mine_ own land of thy sacts and of thy wisdom.
7 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 ex- ceedeth the fame which I heard.
8 H=Happy are thy «men, =happy are these thy servants, x+which stand con- tinually before thee, and xsthat hear thy «wisdom.
9 Blessed tbe Jthe Lorp thy =God, which delighted in thee, to tset thee on the_throne_of Israél: because the Lor» loved «Israél for ever, therefore made He thee king, to do judgment and * justice.”
10 And she gaye the king a 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 xking Solomon.
11 And the_navy also_of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought_in

Kings X. 12. | B.C. about from Ophir great plenty_of palmug
trees, and precious stones.
1 And the king made of the almug trees s¢-pillars for the_house_of / the Lorp, and for the King’s house, harps also and psalteries for xsingers: there came no such almug trees, nor were_ seen unto xthis xday.
13 And xking Solomon gave unto the_ queen_of Sheba ~all her desire, whatso- ever she asked, beside that which Solo-
. |mon gave her «cof his royal bounty.
So she turned and went to her_own country, she and her servants.
14 Now the_weight_of xgold that came to Solomon in one year was six hun- dred threescore and six talents _of gold,
15 Beside that he had of the merchant- men, and of the_traffick_of the spice_ merchants, and of all the_kings_of
‘|xArabia, and of the_governors_of the
country,
16 And xking Solomon made two hundred ets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold 'went to xone
“| xtarget.
17 And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three_pound_of gold fwent to xone xshield: and the king put them in the_house_of the_forest_of xLebanon.
18 Moreover the king made a great throne_of ivory, and overlaid it with
-| the p best gold.
19 The throne had six steps, and the_ top_of the throne was round behind : and there were hastays on either side on the_place_of the seat, and two lions 4stood beside the 7:4 stays.
20 And twelve lions +stood there on the_one_side and on the_other upon the six xsteps: there was not the_like made in any kingdom.
21 And all xking Solomon’s diinking vessels were of gold, and all the_vessels_ of the house_of the_forest_of xLebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver : it was nothing accounted_of in the_ days_of Solomon.
For the king had at sea a navy_of Tharshish with the_navy_of Hiram: once in three years tcame the_navy_of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, eiyory, and apes, and peacocks.
23 So xking Solomon exceeded all the_
.|kings_of the earth for riches and for
wisdom.
24 And all the earth +sought ‘to Solomon, to hear his -wisdom, which =God had_put in his heart.
% And thep +brought tevery_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 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 xchariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.
27 And the king made ‘silver to be in Jerusalem as «stones, and xcedars made
-|he to be as the sycomore_trees that are
17. |in the vale, for abundance.
28 And Solomon had xhorses brought_
I, Kines XI. 14. ont of Egypt, and linen_yarn: the|B.C. about
king’s merchants ‘received the linen_ yarn at a price.
22 And a chariot came_up and went_ out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so for all the_kings_of the Hittites, and for the_kings_of Syria, tdid_they_bring_them_out by their
h means.
1 BUT xking Solomon loved many strange women, together_with
-the_daughter_of Pharaoh, women_of_
the_Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites,
Zidonians, and Hittites ;
2 Of the nations concerning which Sthe Lorp said unto the_schildren_of Israél, “Ye shall not go_in to them, neither shall they come_in unto you: for surely they will_turn_away your rheart after their gods:” Solomon clave unto these in love.
3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concu- bines: and his wives turned_away his rheart.
4 For it came_to_pass, when Solomon was_old, that his wives turned_away his theart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with J the Lorp his =God, as was the_heart_of David his father.
5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the_=goddess_of the Zidonians, and after m Milcom the_abomination_of the Am- monites,
6 And Solomon did of ‘the Lorp, and went not fully after J the Lorn, as did David his father.
7 Then did Solomon build a high_ place for Chemosh, the_abomination_of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusa- lem, and for Molech, the_abomination_ of the_s children_of Ammon.
8 And likewise did he for all his xstrange wives, +which_burnt_incense and «sacrificed unto their gods.
9 And J the Lorp was_angry with Solo- mon, because his heart was_turned from ‘the Lorp =God_of Israél, which had_ appeared unto him twice,
10 And shad_commanded him con- cerning xthis xthing, that_he_should not go after other gods: but he kept not -that_which /the Lorp commanded.
11 Wherefore Jthe Lorp said unto Solomon, “Forasmuch as this « *is_done of thee, and thou -hast not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I shave_commanded thee, I will_surely rend -the kingdom from thee, and -will_ give it to thy servant.
22 Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father’s sake: but I will_rend it out_of the_hand_of thy son.
33"Howbeit I will not rend_away «all the kingdom; but will_give one tribe to thy son for David My servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I -have_ chosen;”
14 And J the Lorp rastirred_up an adversary unto Solomon, }-Hadad the
