2 Chronicles 9:5

---

← 2 Chronicles 9:4	2 Chronicles 9:5 (KJV)	2 Chronicles 9:6 →
And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.	And she said to the king, [It was] a true report which I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom:	Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen [it]: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: [for] thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
