2. Chronicles 9 – Studienbibel

1 And when the queen4436 of Sheba7614 heard8085 of the fame8088 of Solomon8010, she came935 to prove5254 Solomon8010 with hard questions2420 at Jerusalem3389, with a very3966 great3515 company2428, and camels1581 that bare5375 spices1314, and gold2091 in abundance7230, and precious3368 stones68: and when she was come935 to Solomon8010, she communed1696 with him of all that was in her heart3824. 2 And Solomon8010 told5046 her all her questions1697: and there was nothing hid5956 from Solomon8010 which he told5046 her not. 3 And when the queen4436 of Sheba7614 had seen7200 the wisdom2451 of Solomon8010, and the house1004 that he had built1129, 4 And the meat3978 of his table7979, and the sitting4186 of his servants5650, and the attendance4612 of his ministers8334, and their apparel4403; his cupbearers8248 also, and their apparel4403; and his ascent5944 by which he went up5927 into the house1004 of the LORD3068; there was no more spirit7307 in her.¹ 5 And she said559 to the king4428, It was a true571 report1697 which I heard8085 in mine own land776 of thine acts1697, and of thy wisdom2451:²³ 6 Howbeit I believed539 not their words1697, until I came935, and mine eyes5869 had seen7200 it: and, behold, the one half2677 of the greatness4768 of thy wisdom2451 was not told5046 me: for thou exceedest3254 the fame8052 that I heard8085. 7 Happy835 are thy men582, and happy835 are these thy servants5650, which stand5975 continually8548 before6440 thee, and hear8085 thy wisdom2451. 8 Blessed1288 be the LORD3068 thy God430, which delighted2654 in thee to set5414 thee on his throne3678, to be king4428 for the LORD3068 thy God430: because thy God430 loved160 Israel3478, to establish5975 them for ever5769, therefore made5414 he thee king4428 over them, to do6213 judgment4941 and justice6666. 9 And she gave5414 the king4428 an hundred3967 and twenty6242 talents3603 of gold2091, and of spices1314 great3966 abundance7230, and precious3368 stones68: neither was there any such spice1314 as the queen4436 of Sheba7614 gave5414 king4428 Solomon8010. 10 And the servants5650 also of Huram2361, and the servants5650 of Solomon8010, which brought935 gold2091 from Ophir211, brought935 algum418 trees6086 and precious3368 stones68. 11 And the king4428 made6213 of the algum418 trees6086 terraces4546 to the house1004 of the LORD3068, and to the king's4428 palace1004, and harps3658 and psalteries5035 for singers7891: and there were none such1992 seen7200 before6440 in the land776 of Judah3063.⁴ 12 And king4428 Solomon8010 gave5414 to the queen4436 of Sheba7614 all her desire2656, whatsoever she asked7592, beside that which she had brought935 unto the king4428. So she turned2015, and went away3212 to her own land776, she and her servants5650.

13 Now the weight4948 of gold2091 that came935 to Solomon8010 in one259 year8141 was six8337 hundred3967 and threescore8346 and six8337 talents3603 of gold2091; 14 Beside that which chapmen582 8446 and merchants5503 brought935. And all the kings4428 of Arabia6152 and governors6346 of the country776 brought935 gold2091 and silver3701 to Solomon8010.⁵ 15 And king4428 Solomon8010 made6213 two hundred3967 targets6793 of beaten7820 gold2091: six8337 hundred3967 shekels of beaten7820 gold2091 went5927 to one259 target6793. 16 And three7969 hundred3967 shields4043 made he of beaten7820 gold2091: three7969 hundred3967 shekels of gold2091 went5927 to one259 shield4043. And the king4428 put5414 them in the house1004 of the forest3293 of Lebanon3844. 17 Moreover the king4428 made6213 a great1419 throne3678 of ivory8127, and overlaid6823 it with pure2889 gold2091. 18 And there were six8337 steps4609 to the throne3678, with a footstool3534 of gold2091, which were fastened270 to the throne3678, and stays3027 on each side of the sitting3427 place4725, and two8147 lions738 standing5975 by681 the stays3027:⁶ 19 And twelve8147 6240 lions738 stood5975 there on the one side and on the other upon the six8337 steps4609. There was not the like made6213 in any kingdom4467. 20 And all the drinking4945 vessels3627 of king4428 Solomon8010 were of gold2091, and all the vessels3627 of the house1004 of the forest3293 of Lebanon3844 were of pure5462 gold2091: none were of silver3701; it was not any3972 thing accounted2803 of in the days3117 of Solomon8010.⁷⁸ 21 For the king's4428 ships591 went1980 to Tarshish8659 with the servants5650 of Huram2361: every three7969 years8141 once259 came935 the ships591 of Tarshish8659 bringing5375 gold2091, and silver3701, ivory8143, and apes6971, and peacocks8500.⁹ 22 And king4428 Solomon8010 passed1431 all the kings4428 of the earth776 in riches6239 and wisdom2451. 23 And all the kings4428 of the earth776 sought1245 the presence6440 of Solomon8010, to hear8085 his wisdom2451, that God430 had put5414 in his heart3820. 24 And they brought935 every man376 his present4503, vessels3627 of silver3701, and vessels3627 of gold2091, and raiment8008, harness5402, and spices1314, horses5483, and mules6505, a rate1697 year8141 by year8141. 25 And Solomon8010 had four702 thousand505 stalls723 for horses5483 and chariots4818, and twelve8147 6240 thousand505 horsemen6571; whom he bestowed3240 in the chariot7393 cities5892, and with the king4428 at Jerusalem3389. 26 And he reigned4910 over all the kings4428 from the river5104 even unto the land776 of the Philistines6430, and to the border1366 of Egypt4714.¹⁰ 27 And the king4428 made5414 silver3701 in Jerusalem3389 as stones68, and cedar trees730 made5414 he as the sycomore trees8256 that are in the low plains8219 in abundance7230.¹¹ 28 And they brought3318 unto Solomon8010 horses5483 out of Egypt4714, and out of all lands776. 29 Now the rest7605 of the acts1697 of Solomon8010, first7223 and last314, are they not written3789 in the book1697 of Nathan5416 the prophet5030, and in the prophecy5016 of Ahijah281 the Shilonite7888, and in the visions2378 of Iddo3260 the seer2374 against Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat5028?¹² 30 And Solomon8010 reigned4427 in Jerusalem3389 over all Israel3478 forty705 years8141. 31 And Solomon8010 slept7901 with his fathers1, and he was buried6912 in the city5892 of David1732 his father1: and Rehoboam7346 his son1121 reigned4427 in his stead.
