Καὶ βασίλισσα Σαβὰ ἤκουσεν τὸ ὄνομα Σαλωμὼν καὶ τὸ ὄνομα
Κυρίου καὶ ἦλθεν πειράσαι αὐτὸν ἐν αἰνίγμασιν.

καὶ ἦλθεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐν δυνάμει βαρείᾳ σφόδρα· καὶ κάμηλοι αἴρουσαι ἡδύσματα καὶ χρυςὸν πολὺν σφόδρα καὶ λίθον τίμιον· καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς Σαλωμὼν καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ πάντα ὅσα ἦν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς.

καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῇ σαλωμῶν πάντας τοῦς λόγους αὐτῆς· οὐκ ἦν λόγος παρεωραμένος παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως ὃν οὐκ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῇ.

καὶ εἶδεν βασίλισσα Σαβὰ πᾶσαν φρόνησιν Σαλωμών, καὶ τὸν οἶκον
ὂν ῲκοδόμησεν,

καὶ τὰ βρώματα Σαλωμὼν καὶ τὴν καθέδραν παίδων αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν στάσιν λειτουργῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν ἱματισμὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς οἰνοχόυς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν αὐτοῦ ἣν ἀνέεφερεν ἐν
οἴκῳ Κυρίου, καὶ ἐξ ἐαυτῆς ἐγένετο.

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα
Σαλωμών Ἀλλθινὸς ὁ λόγος ὃν ἥκουσα ἐν τῇ γῇ μου

πεερὶ τοῦ λόγου σου καὶ περὶ τῆς φρονήσεώς σου· 7 καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευσα τοῖς λαλοῦσίν μοι, ἔως ὄτου παρεγενόμην καὶ ἐωράκασιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ εἰσὶν τὸ ἥμισυ καθὼς ἀπήγγειλάν μοι, προστέθεικας ἀγαθὰ πρὸς
αὐτὰ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τῆν ἀκοὴν ἣν ἤκουσα ἐν τῇ γῇ μου.

μακάριαι αἱ γυναῖκές σου, μακάριοι οἱ παῖδές σου οὖτοι οἱ παρεστηκότες ἐνώπιόν
σου δἰ ὄλου, οἱ καὸύοντες πᾶσαν τᾶσαν τὴν φρόνησίν σου.

γένοιτο Κύριος ¹² ὁ θεός σου εὐλογημένος ὃς ἠθέλησεν ἐν σοὶ δοῦναί σε ἐπὶ θρόνου Ἰσραήλ, διὰ τὸ ἀγαπᾷν Κύριον τὸν Ἰσραὴλ στῆσαι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· καὶ ἔθετό σε βασιλέα ἐπ’αὐτοὺς τοῦ ποιεῖν κρίμα ἐν δικαιοςύνῃ καὶ ἐν κρίμασιν αὐτῶν.

καὶ ἔδωκεν τῷ Σαλωμὼν ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι τάλαντα
χρυςίου καὶ ἡδύσματα πολλὰ σφόδρα καὶ λίθον τίμιον· οὐκ ἐληλύθει κατὰ τὰ ἡδύσματα ἐκεῖνα ἔτι εἰς πλῆθος ἃ ἔδωκεν βαςίλισσα Σαβὰ τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμών.

καὶ ἡ ναῦς Χειρὰμ ἦν αἴρουσα τὸ χρυςίον
ἐκ Σουφείρ· ἤνεγκεν ξύλα πελεκητὰ πολλὰ σφόδρα καὶ λίθον τίμιον.

καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὰ ξύλα τὰ πελεκητὰ ὑποστηρίγματα
οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ νάβλας καὶ κινὑρας τοῖς ᾠδοῖς· οὐκ ἐληλύθει τοιαῦτα ξύλα πελεκητὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, οὐδὲ ὤφθηςάν που ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν
ἔδωκεν τῇ βασιλίσςῃ Σαβὰ πάντα ὅσα ἠθέλησεν, ὅσα ᾐτήσατο, ἐκτὸς πάντων ὦν δεδώκει αὐτῇ διὰ χειρὸς τοῦ βασιλέως Σαλωμών· καὶ ἀπε- στράφη, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτῆς, αὐτὴ καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτῆς.

Καὶ ἦν ὁ σταθμὸς τοῦ χρυςίου τοῦ ἐληλυθότος τῷ Σαλωμὼν
ἐν ἐνιαυτῷ ἑνὶ ἑξακόσια καὶ ἑξήκοντα ἓξ τάλαντα χρυςίου,

χωρὶς
τῶν φόρων τῶν ὑποτεταγμένων τῶν ἐμπόρων καὶ πάντων τῶν βασιλέων τοῦ πέραν καὶ τῶν σατραπῶν τῆς γῆς.

καὶ ἐποίησεν
Σαλωμὼν τριακόσια δόρατα χρυςᾶ ἐλατά· τριακόσιοι χρυσοῖ ἐπῆσαν ἐπὶ τὸ δόρυ τὸ ἕν·

καὶ τριακόσια ὅπλα χρυςᾶ ἐλατά· καὶ τρεῖς μναῖ
ἐνῆσαν Χρυσοῦ εἰς τὸ ὅπλον τὸ ἕν· καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ εἰς οἶκον δρυμοῦ τοῦ Λιβάνου.

καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς θρόνον ἐλεφάντινον μέγαν,
καὶ περιεχρύσνσεν αὐτὸν χρυςίῳ δοκίμῳ.

ἓξ ἀναβαθμοὶ τῷ θρόνῳ,
καὶ προτομαὶ μόσχων τῷ θρόνῳ ἐκ τῶν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου τῆς καθέδρας, καὶ δύο λέ ουτες ἑστηκότες παρὰ τὰς χεῖρας,

καὶ δώδεκα λέοντες ἑστῶτες ἐπὶ τῶν ἓξ ἀναβαθμῶν ἔνθεν
καὶ ἔνθεν· οὐ γέγονεν οὕτως πάσῃ βασιλείᾳ.

καὶ πάντα τὰ
σκεύη τὰ ὑπὸ τοῦ Σαλωμὼν γεγονότα χρυςᾶ, καὶ λουτῆρες χρυσοῖ, ³⁴ πάντα τὰ σκεύη δρυμοῦ οἴκου τοῦ Αιβάνου χρυςίῳ συνκεκλεισμένα· ⁵ οὐκ ἦν ἀργύριον, ὅτι οὐκ ἦν λογιζόμενον ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Σαλωμών.

ὅτι ναῦς Θαρσεὶς τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐν τῇ θαλάσςῃ μετὰ τῶν νηῶν Χειράμ· μία διὰ τριῶν ἐτῶν ἤρχετο τῷ βασιλεῖ βαῦς ἐκ Θαρσεὶς χρυςίου καὶ ⁶
ἀργυρίου καὶ λίθων τορευτῶν καὶ πελεκητῶν.

αὕτη ἦν ἡ πραγματεία τῆς προνομῆς ἧς ἀνήνεγκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαλωμὼν οἰκοδομῆσαι τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τὸ τεῖχος Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ τὴν ἄκραν, τοῦ περιφράξαι τὸν φραγμὸν τῆς πόλεως Δαυείδ, καὶ τὴν Ἀσσοὺρ καὶ τὴν Μαδιὰν καὶ τὴν Γάζερ ⁷ (17b-19) καὶ τὴν Βαιθωρὰμ τὴν ἀνωτέρω καὶ τὴν Ἰεθερμάθ, καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τῶν ἁρμάτων καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις τῶν ἱππέων·

καὶ τὴν πραγματείαν Σαλωμὼν ἥν ἐπραγματεύσατο οἰκοδομῆσαι ⁸ ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ τοῦ Χετταίου καὶ τοῦ Ἀμορραίου καὶ τοῦ Φερεζαίου καὶ τοῦ Χαναναίου καὶ τοῦ Εὑαίου καὶ τοῦ Ἰεβουσαίου καὶ τοῦ Γεργεσαίου, τῶν μὴ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰδραὴλ ⁹ ὄντων, (21) τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν τὰ ὑπολελιμμένα μετ’ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῇ οὕς οὐκ ἐδύναντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι αὐτούς, καὶ ἀνήγαγεν ¹⁰
αὐτοὺς Σαλωμὼν εἰς φόρον ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ οὐκ ἔδωκε Σαλωμὼν πρᾶγμα, ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἦσαν ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταὶ καὶ παῖδες αὐτοῦ καὶ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ ¹¹
καὶ ἱππεῖς αὐτοῦ.

καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθη Σαλωμὼν ὑπὲρ πάντας τοὺς ¹²
βασιλεῖς πλούτῳ καὶ φρονήσει.

καὶ πάντες βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς ἐζήτουν τὸ πρόσωπον Σαλωμὼν τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι τῆς φρονήσεως αὐτοῦ ¹³
ἧς ἔδωκεν Κύριος τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ.

καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔφερον ἕκαστος τὰ δῶρα αὐτοῦ, σκεύη χρυςᾶ καὶ ἑματισμόν, στακτὴν καὶ ἡθύσματα ¹⁴
καὶ ἵππους καὶ ἡμιόνους τὸ κατ’ ἐνιαυτὸν ἐνιαυτῷ.

καὶ ἦσαν τῷ Σαλωμὼν τέσσαρες χιλιάδες θήλειαι ἴπποι εἰς ἅρματα καὶ δώδεκα χιλιάδες ἱππέων, καὶ ἔθετο αὐτὰς ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι τῶν ¹⁵
ἁρμάτων καὶ μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.

καὶ ἦν ἡγούμενος πάντων τῶν βασιλέων ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἕως γῆς ¹⁶¹⁷ ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἕως ὁρίων Αἰγύπτου.

καὶ ἔδωκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς
¹⁸ τὸ χρυσίον καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ὡς λίθους, καὶ τὰς κέδρους ἔδωκεν ὡς συκαμίονυς τὰς ἐν ῇ πεδινῇ εἰς πλῆθος.

καὶ ἡ ἔξοδος Σαλωμὼν τῶν ἱππέων καὶ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐκ
¹⁹ Θεκοῦε ἔμποροι τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐλάμβανεν ἐκ Θεκοῦε ἐν ἀλλάγματι.

καὶ ἀνέβαινεν ἡ ἔξοδος ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἅρμα ἀντὶ
²⁰ ἑκατὸν ἀργυρίου, καὶ ἵππος ἀντὶ πεντήκοντα ἀργυρίου. καὶ οὔτω τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν πᾶσιν Χεττιεὶν καὶ βασιλεῦσιν Συρίας κατὰ θάλασσαν ἐξεπορεύοντο.

When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Yahweh, she came to prove him with hard questions.

She came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.

Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her.

When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,

and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, and his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Yahweh; there was no more spirit in her.

She said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.

However I didn’t believe the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me; your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.

Happy are your men, happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, [and] who hear your wisdom.

Blessed be Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel: because Yahweh loved Israel forever, therefore made he you king, to do justice and righteousness.

She gave the king one hundred 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.

The navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees and precious stones.

The king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of Yahweh, and for the king’s house, harps also and psalteries for the singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen, to this day.

King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.

Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,

besides [that which] the traders [brought], and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed people, and of the governors of the country.

King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred [shekels] of gold went to one buckler.

[he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.

There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.

Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.

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.

For the king had at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram: once every three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.

All the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.

The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; and the king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.

A chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
