And she said to the king, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land concerning your words, and concerning your wisdom.

and the camels of Midian and Ephah shall cover you; all from Saba shall come bearing gold, and shall bring frankincense, and they shall proclaim the salvation of the Lord.

The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, these were your merchants, with choice spices, and precious stones; and they brought gold to your market.
