Joshua 9:6-9
And they went to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal and said to him and to the men of Israel,“ We have come from a far country; now then, make a covenant with us.”But the men of Israel said to the Hivites,“ Perhaps you are living within our land; how then are we to make a covenant with you?”So they said to Joshua,“ We are your servants.” Then Joshua said to them,“ Who are you and where do you come from?”They said to him,“ Your servants have come from a very distant country because of the fame of the Lord your God; for we have heard the report about Him and all that He did in Egypt,

Joshua 2:9-11
and said to the men,“ I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have despaired because of you.For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.When we heard these reports, our hearts melted and no courage remained in anyone any longer because of you; for the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth below.

Deuteronomy 4:32-38
“ Indeed, ask now about the earlier days that were before your time, since the day that God created mankind on the earth, and inquire from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything been done like this great thing, or has anything been heard like it?Has any people heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as you have heard it, and survived?Or has a god ventured to go to take for himself a nation from within another nation by trials, by signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, just as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord, He is God; there is no other besides Him.Out of the heavens He let you hear His voice to discipline you; and on earth He let you see His great fire, and you heard His words from the midst of the fire.Because He loved your fathers, He chose their descendants after them. And He personally brought you from Egypt by His great power,driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in and to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is today.

Deuteronomy 4:6-8
So keep and do them, for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say,‘ Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as is the Lord our God whenever we call on Him?Or what great nation is there that has statutes and judgments as righteous as this whole Law which I am setting before you today?

1 Kings 10 1-1 Kings 10 13
Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon in relation to the name of the Lord, she came to test him with riddles.So she came to Jerusalem with a very large entourage, with camels carrying balsam oil and a very large quantity of gold and precious stones. When she came to Solomon, she spoke to him about everything that was in her heart.And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was concealed from the king which he did not explain to her.When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,and the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their attire, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings which he offered at the house of the Lord, she was breathless.Then she said to the king,“ It was a true story that I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom.But I did not believe the stories until I came and my own eyes saw it all. And behold, the half of it was not reported to me. You have exceeded in wisdom and prosperity the report which I heard.Blessed are your men, and blessed are these servants of yours who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom!Blessed be the Lord your God who delighted in you to put you on the throne of Israel; because the Lord loves Israel forever, He made you king, to do justice and righteousness.”Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, and a very large amount of balsam oil and precious stones. Never again did such a large quantity of balsam oil come in as that which the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.And the ships of Hiram as well, which brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir a very great number of almug trees and precious stones.The king made from the almug trees supports for the house of the Lord and for the king’s house, and lyres and harps for the singers; such almug trees have not come in again, nor have they been seen to this day.And King Solomon granted the queen of Sheba everything she desired, whatever she requested, besides what he gave her in proportion to his royal bounty. Then she departed and went to her own land together with her servants.
