So the queen of Sheba saw how very wise Solomon was. She saw the palace he had built.

When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon and the palace he had built,

And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,

When the queen of Sheba realized how very wise Solomon was, and when she saw the palace he had built,

When the queen of Sheba observed all of Solomon’s wisdom, the palace he had built,

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

And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,

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

When the queen of Sheba observed all of Solomon’s wisdom, the palace he had built,

And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon’s wisdom, and the house that he had built,

When the queen of Sheba saw for herself Solomon’s extensive wisdom, the palace he had built,

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

So the queen of Sheba saw how wise Solomon was. She saw the palace he had built.She saw the food on his table. She saw his officials sitting there. She saw the robes of the servants who waited on everyone. She saw the robes the wine tasters were wearing. And she saw the burnt offerings Solomon sacrificed at the Lord’ s temple. She could hardly believe everything she had seen.

God made Solomon very wise. His understanding couldn’t even be measured. It was like the sand on the seashore. People can’t measure that either.Solomon’s wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the east. It was greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.Solomon was wiser than anyone else. He was wiser than Ethan, the Ezrahite. He was wiser than Heman, Kalkol and Darda. They were the sons of Mahol. Solomon became famous in all the nations around him.

All the Israelites heard about the decision the king had given. That gave them great respect for him. They saw that God had given him wisdom. They knew that Solomon would do what was right and fair when he judged people.

The Queen of the South will stand up on judgment day with the people now living. And she will prove that they are guilty. She came from very far away to listen to Solomon’s wisdom. And now something more important than Solomon is here.

Solomon began to build the temple of the Lord. It was 480 years after the Israelites came out of Egypt. It was in the fourth year of Solomon’s rule over Israel. He started in the second month. That was the month of Ziv.The temple King Solomon built for the Lord was 90 feet long. It was 30 feet wide. And it was 45 feet high.The temple had a porch in front of the main hall. The porch was as wide as the temple itself. It was 30 feet wide. It came out 15 feet from the front of the temple.Solomon made narrow windows high up in the temple walls.He built side rooms around the temple. They were built against the walls of the main hall and the Most Holy Room.On the first floor the side rooms were seven and a half feet wide. On the second floor they were nine feet wide. And on the third floor they were ten and a half feet wide. Solomon made the walls of the temple thinner as they went up floor by floor. The result was ledges along the walls. So the floor beams of the side rooms rested on the ledges. The beams didn’t go into the temple walls.All the stones used for building the temple were shaped where they were cut. So hammers, chisels and other iron tools couldn’t be heard where the temple was being built.

The Teacher was wise. He gave knowledge to people. He tried out many proverbs. He thought about them carefully. Then he wrote them down in order.
