Expanded Bible

¹⁰ ·Hiram’s [or Huram’s; 2:3] men and Solomon’s men brought gold from Ophir [^Cperhaps a region in southern Arabia], ·juniper wood [sandalwood; algum], and ·jewels [precious stones]. ¹¹ King Solomon used the ·juniper wood [sandalwood; algum] to build steps for the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord and the ·palace [^Lhouse] and to make lyres and harps for the ·musicians [singers]. No one in Judah had ever seen ·such beautiful things as these [anything like them].

¹² King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba everything she ·wanted [desired] and asked for, even more than she had brought to him. Then she and her servants returned to her own country.
