旧约 -- 列王记上(1 Kings) -- 第10章
10:1 示巴女王听见所罗门因耶和华之名所得的名声,就来要用难解的话试问所罗门。
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
10:2 跟随她到耶路撒冷的人甚多,又有骆驼驮着香料,宝石,和许多金子。她来见了所罗门王,就把心里所有的对所罗门都说出来。
And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
10:3 所罗门王将她所问的都答上了,没有一句不明白,不能答的。
And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
10:4 示巴女王见所罗门大有智慧,和他所建造的宫室,And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,
10:5 席上的珍馐美味,群臣分列而坐,仆人两旁侍立,以及他们的衣服装饰和酒政的衣服装饰,又见他上耶和华殿的台阶(或作他在耶和华殿里所献的燔祭),就诧异得神不守舍。
And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
10:6 对王说,我在本国里所听见论到你的事和你的智慧实在是真的。
And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
10:7 我先不信那些话,及至我来亲眼见了才知道人所告诉我的还不到一半。你的智慧和你的福分越过我所听见的风声。
Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
10:8 你的臣子,你的仆人常侍立在你面前听你智慧的话是有福的。
Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
10:9 耶和华你的神是应当称颂的。他喜悦你,使你坐以色列的国位。因为他永远爱以色列,所以立你作王,使你秉公行义。
Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.
10:10 于是,示巴女王将一百二十他连得金子和宝石,与极多的香料,送给所罗门王。她送给王的香料,以后奉来的不再有这样多。

And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.
10:12 王用檀香木为耶和华殿和王宫作栏杆,又为歌唱的人作琴瑟。以后再没有这样的檀香木进国来,也没有人看见过,直到如今。)
And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.
10:13 示巴女王一切所要所求的,所罗门王都送给她,另外照自己的厚意馈送她。于是女王和她臣仆转回本国去了。
