2 Chronicles 9:7-9
Evangelical Heritage Version

7 Blessed are your men! Blessed are your servants, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom!

8 “Blessed be the Lord your God, who has been delighted with you and has placed you on his throne as king to serve the Lord your God. Because of your God’s love for Israel and his purpose of establishing Israel forever, he has placed you over them as king to administer justice and righteousness.”

9 Then she gave the king one hundred twenty talents[a] of gold, a very great quantity of spices and incense,[b] and precious stones. There was nothing comparable to these spices and incense that the Queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

Footnotes

  1. 2 Chronicles 9:9 About nine thousand pounds
  2. 2 Chronicles 9:9 Spices and incense—the Hebrew text has only one word here. In English we usually distinguish spices which flavor food, fragrances which are applied to the body, and incense which is burned, but all of these meanings can be expressed by one Hebrew word. Sometimes it takes more than one English word to cover the range of one Hebrew word.
