1 Kings 10:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 I had not believed the report to be true until I came and my eyes had seen, and behold! The half had not been told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity surpass[a] the report that I had heard. 8 Happy are your men and happy are these your servants who stand before you continually hearing your wisdom. 9 May Yahweh your God be blessed, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel, because of the love of Yahweh for Israel forever, and he has made you king to execute justice and righteousness.”

New International Version
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! 9 Praise(D) be to the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on the throne of Israel. Because of the Lord’s eternal love(E) for Israel, he has made you king to maintain justice(F) and righteousness.”
