2 Chronicles 9:10-12
New Living Translation
10 (In addition, the crews of Hiram and Solomon brought gold from Ophir, and they also brought red sandalwood[a] and precious jewels. 11 The king used the sandalwood to make steps[b] for the Temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and to construct lyres and harps for the musicians. Never before had such beautiful things been seen in Judah.)
12 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba whatever she asked for—gifts of greater value than the gifts she had given him. Then she and all her attendants returned to their own land.
