RF KI1 10:1 (B.C. 992-3.) Visit of the Queen of Sheba.
When the Queen of Sheba1 heard the report of Solomon's lordly fame, she came to try him with difficult problems,
RF KI1 10:2 and arrived at Jerusalem with a very great troop bringing perfumes, and a large amount of gold, and precious stones, and went to Solomon and conversed with him about all that was in her heart.
RF KI1 10:3 There was nothing she proposed to the King that he did not explain to her.
RF KI1 10:4 When the Queen of Sheba perceived all the sciences of Solomon, and the House which he had built,
RF KI1 10:5 and his dining-room, and the residences of his ministers, and the attendants serving him, and their uniforms, and the cup-bearers, and the offerings which he offered in the House of the EVER-LIVING, there was no more spirit left in her,
—————
1. The South. Undoubtedly Abyssinia and the East Coast of Africa down to the Cape of Good Hope.—F.F.
RF KI1 10:6 but she exclaimed to the king;—"It was a truth that I heard in my country, about your affairs, and about your wisdom!
RF KI1 10:7 But I did not trust the statements until I came, and my eyes saw it. And indeed I was not told of the half of the extent of your sciences,—for what I have heard is better than was reported to me.
RF KI1 10:8 Your nobles are happy! Your ministers are happy, who always stand before you to listen to your wisdom!
RF KI1 10:9 Your EVER-LIVING GOD should be blessed Who has granted to you to sit upon the throne of Israel! The LORD of Israel should be loved for ever, Who appointed you as king to do justice and right!"
RF KI1 10:10 She then gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and very many spices, and precious stones. There never again came so great a quantity of spices as the Queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
RF KI1 10:11 But however the ships of Hiram which brought gold from Aufer brought also from Aufer a very large quantity of almug wood. and precious stones,
RF KI1 10:12 and the king made from the almug wood brackets for the house of the EVER-LIVING, and lutes for the palace of the king, and harps and guitars for the singers. Such almug trees were never again brought, nor have been seen to this day.
RF KI1 10:13 King Solomon also presented to the Queen of Sheba all she desired, or she asked for, beside what she was given direct from the hand of King Solomon. Then she turned and went to her own country, and passed over to it.
RF KI1 10:14 (B.C. 985.) Solomon's Wealth.
The weight of gold that came to Solomon in each year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
RF KI1 10:15 beside that produced by taxes on traders, and the import duties, and tribute from all the kingdoms of the west, and the Dependencies of the country.
—————
1. Almug wood is sandal wood, called by the Arabians Kalmak—a product of India and Africa, and used in the East in our own day for the same purposes as Solomon put it to.—F.F.
RF KI1 10:16 Solomon consequently made two hundred shields of beaten gold. (Six hundred of gold went to each shield.)
RF KI1 10:17 And three hundred targets of beaten gold; (each contained three pounds weight of gold;) and the king put them in the Palace of the forest of Lebanon.
RF KI1 10:18 The king also made a great ivory throne, and plated it with refined gold. There were six steps to the throne.
RF KI1 10:19 and a carriage head to the throne from behind it, with arms on both sides of the seat, and two lions standing beside them,
RF KI1 10:20 with twelve stationed on the six steps, one upon each side. There was nothing made like them in all the kingdoms.
RF KI1 10:21 All the drinking cups of King Solomon were of gold, and all the furniture of his palace in Lebanon was of pure gold. None was of silver or brass in the days of Solomon,
RF KI1 10:22 for the king's ships of Tarshish, at sea with the ships of Hiram, returned every three years. These ships of Tarshish brought gold, and silver, ivory, monkeys and peacocks.
RF KI1 10:23 Thus Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and wisdom,
RF KI1 10:24 and all the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear the learning that GOD had given to his intellect;
RF KI1 10:25 and all of them brought tribute of articles of silver, and gold, and fabrics, and arms, and spices, and horses, and mules, imposed year by year.
RF KI1 10:26 Solomon also accumulated chariots and horses, and possessed one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand cavalry, which he placed in cavalry barracks, and with the king in Jerusalem,
RF KI1 10:27 So the king made silver in Jerusalem, like stones, and planted many cedars and sycamores in the lowlands.
RF KI1 10:28 The horses that Solomon had were brought from Egypt, and the collecting merchants were paid for them by the king according to contract.
RF KI1 10:29 They brought up and fetched an Egyptian chariot for six hundred shekels of silver and a horse for one hundred and fifty,' and the same from all the Chiefs of the Hitites, and from the Chiefs of Aram, who brought them to hand.
