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.
