When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. She came with a very long caravan, with camels loaded with spices, much gold, and many precious gemstones. When she had come to Solomon, she told him all that was in her heart.
2 Anih mah dueng ih loknawk boih Solomon mah pathim pae; Solomon mah pathim thai ai ih karai parai hmuen tidoeh om ai.
Solomon answered her all her questions; nothing was too difficult for Solomon; there was no question that he did not answer.

5 Siangpahrang khaeah, Ka prae hoi ka thaih ih na sakthaih ih hmuen hoi palung na hahaihnawk loe oh tangtang;
She said to the king, “It is true, the report that I heard in my own land of your words and your wisdom.

I did not believe what I heard until I came here, and now my eyes have seen it. Not half was told me about your wisdom and wealth! You have exceeded the fame that I heard about.

How blessed are your people, and how blessed are your servants who constantly stand before you, because they hear your wisdom.

Blessed be Yahweh your God, who has taken pleasure in you, who placed you on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God. Because your God loved Israel, in order to establish them forever, he had made you king over them, for you to do justice and righteousness!”

All King Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the drinking cups in the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were silver because silver was not considered valuable in Solomon's days.
