In context
1 Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to Jerusalem to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions; and with her came a very great train, and camels weighted down with spices, and great stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.
2 And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which he did not make clear to her.
3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,
4 And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants and their robes, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.
5 And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.
6 But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and truly, word was not given me of half your great wisdom; you are much greater than they said.
7 Happy are your wives and happy these your servants whose place is ever before you, hearing your words of wisdom.
