1 Kings 10

Gen Z: 1 Kings 10

1When the queen of Sheba heard about Solomon's rizz and the Lord's vibes, she pulled up to test him with some tough questions.

2She showed up in Jerusalem with a whole squad, camels packed with spices, mad gold, and gems: when she met Solomon, she spilled all the tea from her heart.

3Solomon dropped knowledge on all her questions: nothing was hidden from the king, he told her everything, no cap.

4After the queen peeped Solomon’s wisdom and the dope crib he built,

5And the feast at his table, the vibe of his crew, the drip of his ministers, and the way he rolled up to the Lord’s house; she was shook, no spirit left.

6She told the king, "For real, I heard the truth back home about your moves and wisdom."

7But I didn’t believe it till I saw it: and wow, they didn’t even tell me half of it: your wisdom and glow-up are next level, fr.

8Your crew is blessed, your servants are vibin', always in front of you, soaking up your wisdom.

9Big ups to the Lord your God, who’s hyped about you, putting you on the throne of Israel: the Lord’s got mad love for Israel forever, so he made you king to keep it real and just.

10She gifted the king 120 talents of gold, a crazy amount of spices, and precious stones: there was never a haul like the one Queen Sheba dropped for King Solomon.

11Hiram's crew pulled up with gold from Ophir and brought in mad almug trees and some dope gems.

12The king flexed those almug trees into pillars for the Lord's crib and his own, plus made some sick harps and psalteries for the singers: no cap, you ain’t seen almug trees like these.

13King Solomon hooked up the queen of Sheba with everything she wanted, and then some from his royal stash. She bounced back to her place with her squad.

14In one year, Solomon racked up 666 talents of gold, like that’s a whole vibe.

15On top of that, he was stacking from merchants, spice dealers, and all the kings in Arabia, plus the local governors.

16Solomon crafted 200 gold targets, and each one was worth 600 shekels of gold.

17He also made 300 gold shields; each one took three pounds of gold, and the king placed them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

18Plus, the king made a massive throne outta ivory and dripped it in the finest gold.

19The throne had six steps, rounded at the back, with supports on each side and two lions chillin' next to them.

20And there were twelve lions, one on each side of the six steps: no other kingdom had a setup like this, fr.

21All of King Solomon's drinkware was straight gold, like pure vibes. Silver? Nah, that was sus in Solomon's time.

22The king had a whole navy squad from Tharshish, flexing with Hiram's crew. Every three years, they’d pull up with gold, silver, ivory, monkeys, and peacocks.

23King Solomon was the GOAT, outshining all the kings on the planet with his riches and wisdom.

24Everyone was hitting up Solomon to soak in that wisdom God dropped in his heart.

25They came through with gifts: silver and gold stuff, clothes, armor, spices, horses, and mules, all year round.

26Solomon stacked up chariots and horsemen: like 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, chilling in the cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

27Silver was so common in Jerusalem, it was like rocks, and cedars were as plentiful as sycamore trees in the valley.

28Solomon had horses shipped in from Egypt, along with linen yarn; the king's merchants were cashing in on that linen.

29A chariot rolled out from Egypt for 600 shekels of silver, and a horse for 150; they were bringing that heat for all the kings of the Hittites and Syria.

KJV: 1 Kings 10

1And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with hard questions.

2And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.

3And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.

4And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon’s wisdom, and the house that he had built,

5And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the Lord; there was no more spirit in her.

6And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.

7Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.

8Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.

9Blessed be the Lord thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the Lord loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.

10And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

11And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.

12And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the Lord, and for the king’s house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.

13And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.

14Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,

15Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.

16And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target.

17And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

18Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.

19The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.

20And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.

21And all king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.

22For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

23So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.

24And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

25And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

26And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.

27And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the vale, for abundance.

28And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

29And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
