Now the queen of Sheba heard the hearing of Shlomoh to the name of Yahweh
And she entered to test him in riddles.
And she entered Jerusalem with a retinue of very great glory
Camels carrying
Balsam-oil
And gold, a very great amount
And stone rare
And she entered to Shlomoh
And she spoke to him all which was with her heart.
And Shlomoh told to her
all her words
There was not a word hidden from the king
Which he did not tell to her.
And the Queen of Sheba saw
all the wisdom of Shlomoh
And the house which he built
And the food of his table
And the enthronement of his servants
And the standing of his attendants and their vestments
And his cupbearers
And his ascent which he ascended the house of Yahweh
And there was not in her any longer spirit.
And she said to the king,
?True was the word which I heard in my land
concerning your words and concerning your wisdom.
But I did not believe the words
Until which I entered and my eyes saw it.
Now behold it was not told to me the half.
You add wisdom and good
to the hearing which I heard.
Blessed your men
Blessed your servants
Those who are standing before your face continually
(the ones) hearing your wisdom.
May Yahweh your God be blessed
Which desired in you
To give you on the throne of Israel
In the love of Yahweh (for) Israel forever.
And set you as king
To do judgment and righteousness.?E
And she gave to the king
120 disks (talents) of gold
And balsam oil a very great amount
And stone rare
There did not enter according to this balsam oil again
To the amount which the queen of Sheba gave to king Shlomoh.
Now also the ships of Hiram
which carried gold from Ophiyr
Cause to enter from Ophir trees of almug a very great amount
And stones rare.
And the king made the trees of almug
Refreshment for the house of Yahweh
and for the house of the king
And lyres
And harps for the singers
There did not enter thus trees of almug
And it was not seen until this day.
Now the king Shlomoh gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire which she asked
Besides which he gave to her according to the hand of the king Shlomoh
And she turned
And went to her country
She and her servants.
And it was the amount of the gold which entered to Solomon in one year
666 disks (talents) of gold
besides from the men of the spies (explorers)
And the traveling-through of merchants
And all the kings of the Ereb
And the governers of the land.
And the king Shlomoh made 200 large-shields of gold slaughtered
600 of gold he ascended to on the one shield.
And 300 ornamental-shields of gold slaughtered
3 manim of gold he ascended to on the one shield.
And the king gave them the house of the forest of the Lebanon.
And the king made a throne of tooth, a great one
And he overlaid it (with) gold refined.
Six ascending-steps to the throne
And the head round to the throne from after it.
And hands from this and from this
to the place of the resting-seat
And a pair of lions standing beside the hands.
Now 12 lions standing there
on six ascending-steps from this and from this.
It was not made thus for all the kingdoms.
Now all the instruments of drinking of the king Shlomoh, gold
And all the instruments of the house of the forest of the Lebanon, gold hammered thin.
There was not silver.
It was not considered in the days of Shlomoh as anything.
For ships of Tarshiysh (belonging) to the king on the sea
With ships of Hiram
Once every three years entered the ship of Tarshiysh carrying
Gold
And silver
Ivory
And apes
And poultry (or baboons).
And the king Shlomoh became great from all the kings of the land
For wealth
And for wisdom.
And all the land was seeking the face of Shlomoh
To hear his wisdom which Elohim gave in his heart.
Now they themselves were bringing each his tribute
Instruments of silver
And instruments of gold
And mantles
And weapons
And balsam oils
Horses
And mules
Things year by year.
And added Shlomoh chariots and horsemen
And it was to him 1400 chariots
And 12,000 horsemen
And he led them in the cities of the chariot
And with the king in Jerusalem.
And the king gave silver in Jerusalem as stones
And the cedars he gave as sycamore trees which are in the Shephelah for abundance.
And the bringing in of the horses which (was) for Shlomoh
from Mizraim
and from Qeweh
The traveling-ones of Shlomoh took from Qeweh with a price.
And ascended and went out a chariot from Mizraim
For 600 of silver
And a horse for 150.
And this to all the kings of the Hittites
And for the kings of Aram
In their hand they went out.
