1听见所罗门因耶和华之名所得的名声，就来要用试问所罗门。Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to test him with difficult questions.
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。She arrived in Jerusalem with a very large caravan—with camels bearing spices, gold in great abundance, and precious stones. And she came to Solomon and spoke to him all that was on her mind.
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 answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for the king to explain.
4示巴女王见所罗门大有智慧，和他所建造的宫室，When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
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（或译：他在耶和华殿里所献的燔祭），就诧异得；the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the service and attire of his attendants, his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he presented at the house of the LORD, it took her breath away.
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！She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
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。But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity have far exceeded the report I heard.
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！How blessed are your men! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!
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 your God, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel. Because of the LORD’s eternal love for Israel, He has made you king to carry out justice and righteousness.”
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。Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again were spices in such abundance brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
11（希兰的船只从俄斐运了金子来，又从俄斐运了许多檀香木（或译：乌木；下同）和宝石来。(The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought from Ophir a great cargo of almug wood and precious stones.
12王用檀香木为耶和华殿和王宫做栏杆，又为歌唱的人做琴瑟。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。）The king made the almug wood into steps for the house of the LORD and for the king’s palace, and into lyres and harps for the singers. Never before had such almug wood been brought in, nor has such been seen again to this day.)
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。King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever she asked—besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. Then she left and returned to her own country, along with her servants.
14所罗门每年所得的金子共有六百六十六他连得。The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents,
15另外还有商人和杂族（杂族在历代下九章十四节是阿拉伯）的诸王，与国中的省长所进的金子。not including the revenue from the merchants, traders, and all the Arabian kings and governors of the land.
16所罗门王用锤出来的金子打成二百面，每面用金子六百舍客勒；King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.
17又用锤出来的金子打成盾牌三百面，每面用金子三弥那，都放在黎巴嫩林宫里。He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
18王用象牙制造一个宝座，用精金包裹。Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
19宝座有六层台阶，座的后背是圆的，两旁有扶手，靠近扶手有两个狮子站立。The throne had six steps, and its back had a rounded top. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with a lion standing beside each armrest.
20六层台阶上有十二个狮子站立，每层有两个：左边一个，右边一个；在列国中没有这样做的。Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.
21所罗门王一切的饮器都是金子的。黎巴嫩林宫里的一切器皿都是精金的。所罗门年间，银子算不了什么。All King Solomon’s drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, because it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.
22因为王有与希兰的船只一同航海，三年一次，装载金银、象牙、猿猴、回来。For the king had the ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
23所罗门王的财宝与智慧胜过天下的列王。So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
24普天下的王都求见所罗门，要听 神赐给他智慧的话。The whole world sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
25他们各带贡物，就是金器、银器、衣服、军械、香料、骡马，每年有一定之例。Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
26所罗门聚集战车马兵，有战车一千四百辆，马兵一万二千名，安置在屯车的城邑和耶路撒冷，就是王那里。Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
27王在耶路撒冷使银子多如石头，香柏木多如高原的。The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
28所罗门的马是从埃及带来的，是王的商人一群一群按着定价买来的。Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
29从埃及买来的车，每辆价银六百舍客勒，马每匹一百五十舍客勒。赫人诸王和亚兰诸王所买的车马，也是按这价值经他们手买来的。A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
