6She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
7But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity have far exceeded the report I heard.
8How blessed are your men! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!
9Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel. Because of the LORD’s eternal love for Israel, He has made you king to carry out justice and righteousness.”
— 1 Kings 10:6-9
