2 Chronicles 9:9-11
Evangelical Heritage Version

9 Then she gave the king one hundred twenty talents[a] of gold, a very great quantity of spices and incense,[b] and precious stones. There was nothing comparable to these spices and incense that the Queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

10 In addition, the servants of Huram and Solomon who brought gold from Ophir also brought algum[c] wood and precious stones. 11 The king made the algum wood into steps[d] for the Lord’s house and for the house of the king and into lyres and harps for the singers. Nothing like them had ever been seen before in the land of Judah.

Footnotes

  1. 2 Chronicles 9:9 About nine thousand pounds
  2. 2 Chronicles 9:9 Spices and incense—the Hebrew text has only one word here. In English we usually distinguish spices which flavor food, fragrances which are applied to the body, and incense which is burned, but all of these meanings can be expressed by one Hebrew word. Sometimes it takes more than one English word to cover the range of one Hebrew word.
  3. 2 Chronicles 9:10 Perhaps a type of sandalwood. In 1 Kings 10:11, it reads almug wood.
  4. 2 Chronicles 9:11 Or supports
