Herds of young camels will cover your land. They will come from Midian and Ephah. They will also come from Sheba. They’ll carry gold and incense. And people will shout praises to me.

May the kings of Tarshish and of places far away bring him gifts. May the kings of Sheba and Seba give him presents.

Then their father Israel spoke to them. He said,“ If that’s the way it has to be, then do what I tell you. Put some of the best things from our land in your bags. Take them down to the man as a gift. Take some lotion and a little honey. Take some spices and myrrh. Take some pistachio nuts and almonds.

The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabta, Raamah and Sabteka. The sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.

The queen of Sheba heard about how famous Solomon was. So she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. She arrived with a very large group of attendants. Her camels were carrying spices, huge amounts of gold, and valuable jewels. She came to Solomon and asked him about everything she wanted to know.He answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything too hard for him to explain to her.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.She said to the king,“ Back in my own country I heard a report about you. I heard about how much you had accomplished. I also heard about how wise you are. Everything I heard is true.But I didn’t believe what people were saying. So I came to see for myself. And now I believe it! You are twice as wise as people say you are. The report I heard doesn’t even begin to tell the whole story about you.How happy your people must be! How happy your officials must be! They always get to serve you and hear the wise things you say.May the Lord your God be praised. He takes great delight in you. He placed you on his throne as king. He put you there to rule for him. Your God loves Israel very much. He longs to take good care of them forever. That’s why he has made you king over them. He knows that you will do what is fair and right.”She gave the king four and a half tons of gold. She also gave him huge amounts of spices and valuable jewels. There had never been as many spices as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.The servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon brought gold from Ophir. They also brought algumwood and valuable jewels.The king used the algumwood to make steps for the Lord’ s temple and the royal palace. He also used it to make harps and lyres for those who played the music. No one had ever seen anything like those instruments in Judah before.King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba everything she wanted and asked for. In fact, he gave her more than she had brought to him. Then she left. She returned to her own country with her attendants.

The people of Sheba and Dedan will speak to you. So will the traders of Tarshish and all its villages. They will say,‘ Have you come to rob us? Have you gathered your huge army together to steal our silver and gold? Are you going to take away from us our livestock and goods? Do you plan to carry off everything we have?’ ” ’

May the king live a long time! May gold from Sheba be given to him. May people always pray for him. May they ask the Lord to bless him all day long.
