Every year King Solomon received over twenty-five tons of gold,

in addition to the taxes paid by merchants, the profits from trade, and tribute paid by the Arabian kings and the governors of the Israelite districts.

from your Temple in Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.

The kings of Spain and of the islands will offer him gifts; the kings of Sheba and Seba will bring him offerings.

Long live the king! May he be given gold from Sheba; may prayers be said for him at all times; may God's blessings be on him always!
