KJV ¹ And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.

VULC ¹ Sed et regina Saba, audita fama Salomonis in nomine Domini, venit tentare eum in ænigmatibus.

KJV ² And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.

VULC ² Et ingressa Jerusalem multo cum comitatu et divitiis, camelis portantibus aromata, et aurum infinitum nimis, et gemmas pretiosas, venit ad regem Salomonem, et locuta est ei universa quæ habebat in corde suo.

KJV ³ And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.

VULC ³ Et docuit eam Salomon omnia verba quæ proposuerat : non fuit sermo qui regem posset latere, et non responderet ei.

KJV ⁴ And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,

VULC ⁴ Videns autem regina Saba omnem sapientiam Salomonis, et domum quam ædificaverat,

KJV ⁵ 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.

VULC ⁵ et cibos mensæ ejus, et habitacula servorum, et ordines ministrantium, vestesque eorum, et pincernas, et holocausta quæ offerebat in domo Domini : non habebat ultra spiritum.

KJV ⁶ 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.

VULC ⁶ Dixitque ad regem : Verus est sermo quem audivi in terra mea

KJV ⁷ 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.

VULC ⁷ super sermonibus tuis, et super sapientia tua : et non credebam narrantibus mihi, donec ipsa veni, et vidi oculis meis, et probavi quod media pars mihi nuntiata non fuerit : major est sapientia et opera tua, quam rumor quem audivi.

KJV ⁸ Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.

VULC ⁸ Beati viri tui, et beati servi tui, qui stant coram te semper, et audiunt sapientiam tuam.

KJV ⁹ Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.

VULC ⁹ Sit Dominus Deus tuus benedictus, cui complacuisti, et posuit te super thronum Israël, eo quod dilexerit Dominus Israël in sempiternum, et constituit te regem ut faceres judicium et justitiam.

KJV ¹⁰ And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

VULC ¹⁰ Dedit ergo regi centum viginti talenta auri, et aromata multa nimis, et gemmas pretiosas : non sunt allata ultra aromata tam multa, quam ea quæ dedit regina Saba regi Salomoni.

KJV ¹¹ And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.

VULC ¹¹ (Sed et classis Hiram, quæ portabat aurum de Ophir, attulit ex Ophir ligna thyina multa nimis, et gemmas pretiosas.

KJV ¹² And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.

VULC ¹² Fecitque rex de lignis thyinis fulcra domus Domini et domus regiæ, et citharas lyrasque cantoribus : non sunt allata hujuscemodi ligna thyina, neque visa usque in præsentem diem.)

KJV ¹³ And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.

VULC ¹³ Rex autem Salomon dedit reginæ Saba omnia quæ voluit et petivit ab eo, exceptis his quæ ultro obtulerat ei munere regio. Quæ reversa est, et abiit in terram suam cum servis suis.
