6Then she said to the king, “The report I heard in my own land about your accomplishments and your wisdom was true.

7But I did not believe the reports until I came and saw with my own eyes. Not even half had been told to me! Your wisdom and prosperity surpass the report I heard.

8Blessed are your men; blessed are these servants of yours, who continually attend you and hear your wisdom.

9Blessed be Yahweh your God, who delighted in you and set you on the throne of Israel. Because Yahweh loves Israel forever, he has made you king to administer justice and righteousness.”
