And that you know the drill. As I said, it's 1 Kings chapter 10 today. So we're getting closer and closer to the end of King Solomon's reign. We're going to see the Queen of Sheba and we're going to see how everyone's coming to see Solomon because of all of his wisdom and because of Now he's just, man, the guys are wealthy. He is rich. He is super rich.
We're also coming closer and closer. The day after tomorrow, we're encountering our second messianic checkpoint. So just the day after tomorrow, we're going to begin Mark chapters one and two. So excited to go back to the gospels after it's been a while since. It's been a minute since we had the gospel of John. But the day after tomorrow, we are in the gospel of Mark. So good. So good. We're also, as they said, 1 Kings 10, Ecclesiastes 8 and 9, we're praying Psalm 8. The first book of Kings, chapter 10. Visit of the Queen of Sheba. Now, when the Queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord, she came to test him with hard questions. She came to Jerusalem with a very great retinue, with camels bearing spices and very much gold and precious stones.
And when she came to Solomon, she told him all that was on her mind. And Solomon answered all her questions. There was nothing hidden from the king which he could not explain to her. And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, the food of his table, the seating of his officials, and the attendance of his servants, their clothing, his cupbearers, and his burnt offerings which he offered at the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her. and she said to the king the report was true which i heard in my own land of your affairs and of your wisdom but i did not believe the reports until i came and my own eyes had seen it and behold the half was not told to me your wisdom and prosperity surpassed the report which i heard happy are your wives happy are these your servants who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom
Blessed be the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and set you on the throne of Israel. Because the Lord loved Israel forever, he has made you king, that you may execute justice and righteousness. Then she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold and a very great quantity of spices and precious stones. Never again came such an abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon. moreover the fleet of hiram which brought gold from ophir brought from ophir a very great amount of almagwood and precious stones the king made of the almagwood supports for the house of the lord and for the king's house lyres also and harps for the singers no such almagwood has come or been seen to this day
And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all that she desired, whatever she asked, besides what was given to her by the bounty of Solomon. So she turned and went back to her own land with her servants. Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold, besides that which came from the traders and from the traffic of the merchants and from all the kings of Arabia and from the governors of the land.
