1 Kings 10:1-29
1
Now the queen of Sheba heard of the name of Solomon, and the name of the Lord, and she came to test him with riddles.
2
And she came to Jerusalem with a very great company. And [there came] camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and she came in to Solomon, and told him all that was in her heart.
3
And Solomon answered all her questions. And there was not a question overlooked by the king which he did not answer her.
4
And the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he built,
5
and the provision of Solomon and the sitting of his attendants, and the standing of his servants, and his clothing, and his cup-bearers, and his whole burnt offering which he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was utterly amazed.
6
And she said to King Solomon, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land of your words and your wisdom.
7
But I did not believe those that told it to me, until I came and my eyes saw: and behold, the words as they reported to me are not the half [of it]; you have exceeded in goodness all the report which I heard in my land.
8
Blessed [are] your wives, blessed [are] these your servants who stand before you continually, who hear all your wisdom.
9
Blessed be the Lord your God, who has taken pleasure in you, to set you upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord loved Israel to establish [him] forever; and He has made you king over them, to execute judgment with justice, and in their causes.
10
And she gave to Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and very many spices, and precious stones; there had not come any other spices so abundant as those which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
11
And the ships of Hiram which brought the gold from Ophir, brought very much hewn timber and precious stones.
12
And the king made the hewn timber [into] buttresses of the house of the Lord and the king's house, and lyres and harps for singers; such hewn timber had not come upon the earth, nor have been seen anywhere until this day.
13
And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all that she desired, whatsoever she asked, besides all that he had given her by the hand of King Solomon. And she returned, and came into her own land, she and her servants.
14
And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold.
15
Besides the tributes of them that were subjects, both merchants and all the kings of the [country] beyond [the river], and of the princess of the land.
16
And Solomon made three hundred spears of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold were upon one spear.
17
And three hundred shields of beaten gold: and three pounds of gold were in one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18
And the king made a great ivory throne, and gilded it with pure gold.
19
The throne [had] six steps, and calves in bold relief to the throne behind it, and sidepieces on either hand of the place of the seat, and two lions standing by the sidepieces,
20
and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on either side: it was not so done [like that] in any [other] kingdom.
21
And all the vessels made by Solomon [were] of gold, and the lavers [were] golden, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; there was no silver, for it was not accounted of in the days of Solomon.
22
For Solomon had a ship of Tarshish in the sea with the ships of Hiram; one ship came to the king every three years out of Tarshish, [laden with] gold and silver, and wrought stones, and hewn stones. This was the arrangement of the provision which King Solomon fetched to build the house of the Lord, and the house of the king, and the wall of Jerusalem, and the citadel; to fortify the City of David, and Assyria, and Migdol, and Gezer, and Beth Horon the upper, and Jethermath, and all the cities of the chariots, and all the cities of the horsemen, and the fortification of Solomon which he purposed to build in Jerusalem and in all the land, so that none of the people should rule over him that was left of the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Canaanite and the Hivite and the Jebusite and the Girgashite, who were not of the children of Israel, their descendants who had been left with him in the land, whom the children of Israel could not utterly destroy. And Solomon made them tributaries until this day. But of the children of Israel Solomon made nothing, for they were the warriors, and his servants and rulers, and captains of the third order, and the captains of his chariots, and his horsemen.
23
And Solomon increased beyond all the kings of the earth in wealth and wisdom.
24
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which the Lord [had] put into his heart.
25
And everyone their own gifts, vessels of gold, articles of clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
26
And Solomon had four thousand mares for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he put them in the cities of his chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem. And he ruled over all the kings from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
27
And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as the sycamores in the plain for multitude.
28
And the goings forth of Solomon's horsemen [was] also out of Egypt, and the king's merchants [were] of Keveh; and they received them out of Keveh at a price.
29
And that which proceeded out of Egypt went up [thus, even] a chariot for a hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for fifty [shekels] of silver; and thus for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, they came out by sea.
Acts 8:27

17
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore, saying, You shall not any longer go out with us to battle, and you shall not quench the lamp of Israel.
18
And after this there was a battle again with the Philistines in Gath. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph of the sons of Rapha.
19
And there was a battle in Gob with the Philistines; and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite slew [the brother of] Goliath the Gittite; and the staff of his spear [was] as a weaver's beam.
20
And there was yet a battle in Gath. And there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet [were] six on each, twenty-four in number: and he also was born to Rapha.
21
