1 Kings 10:6

---

← 1 Kings 10:5	1 Kings 10:6 (KJV)	1 Kings 10:7 →
And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.	And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.	Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen [it]: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
