1 Kings 10:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 She said:
Solomon, in my own country I had heard about your wisdom and all you've done. 7 But I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes! And there's so much I didn't hear about. You are wiser and richer than I was told. 8 Your wives[a] and officials are lucky to be here where they can listen to the wise things you say.

1 Kings 10:6-8
New International Version
6 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your achievements and your wisdom is true. 7 But I did not believe(A) these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told me; in wisdom and wealth(B) you have far exceeded the report I heard. 8 How happy your people must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear(C) your wisdom!
