2 Chronicles 9

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 And when the queen of Saba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to try him with hard questions at Jerusalem, with great riches, and camels, which carried spices, and abundance of gold, and precious stones. And when she was come to Solomon, she proposed to him all that was in her heart.	1 και βασιλισσα σαβα ηκουσεν το ονομα σαλωμων και ηλθεν του πειρασαι σαλωμων εν αινιγμασιν εις ιερουσαλημ εν δυναμει βαρεια σφοδρα και καμηλοι αιρουσαι αρωματα και χρυσιον εις πληθος και λιθον τιμιον και ηλθεν προς σαλωμων και ελαλησεν προς αυτον παντα οσα εν τη ψυχη αυτης
2 And Solomon explained to her all that she proposed: and there was not any thing that he did not make clear unto her.	2 και ανηγγειλεν αυτη σαλωμων παντας τους λογους αυτης και ου παρηλθεν λογος απο σαλωμων ον ουκ απηγγειλεν αυτη
3 And when she had seen these things, to wit, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,	3 και ειδεν βασιλισσα σαβα την σοφιαν σαλωμων και τον οικον ον ωκοδομησεν
4 And the meats of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the attendance of his officers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their garments, and the victims which he offered in the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her, she was so astonished.	4 και τα βρωματα των τραπεζων και καθεδραν παιδων αυτου και στασιν λειτουργων αυτου και ιματισμον αυτων και οινοχοους αυτου και στολισμον αυτων και τα ολοκαυτωματα α ανεφερεν εν οικω κυριου και εξ εαυτης εγενετο
5 And she add to the king: The word is true which I heard in my country of thy virtues and wisdom.	5 και ειπεν προς τον βασιλεα αληθινος ο λογος ον ηκουσα εν τη γη μου περι των λογων σου και περι της σοφιας σου
6 I did not believe them that told it, until I came, and my eyes had seen, and I had proved that scarce one half of thy wisdom had been told me: thou hast exceeded the same with thy virtues.	6 και ουκ επιστευσα τοις λογοις εως ου ηλθον και ειδον οι οφθαλμοι μου και ιδου ουκ απηγγελη μοι ημισυ του πληθους της σοφιας σου προσεθηκας επι την ακοην ην ηκουσα
7 Happy are thy men, and happy are thy servants, who stand always before thee, and hear thy wisdom.	7 μακαριοι οι ανδρες μακαριοι οι παιδες σου ουτοι οι παρεστηκοτες σοι δια παντος και ακουουσιν σοφιαν σου
8 Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath been pleased to set thee on his throne, king of the Lord thy God. Because God loveth Israel, and will preserve them for ever: therefore hath he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.	8 εστω κυριος ο θεος σου ηυλογημενος ος ηθελησεν σοι του δουναι σε επι θρονον αυτου εις βασιλεα τω κυριω θεω σου εν τω αγαπησαι κυριον τον θεον σου τον ισραηλ του στησαι αυτον εις αιωνα και εδωκεν σε επ' αυτους εις βασιλεα του ποιησαι κριμα και δικαιοσυνην
9 And she gave to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and most precious stones: there were no such spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.	9 και εδωκεν τω βασιλει εκατον εικοσι ταλαντα χρυσιου και αρωματα εις πληθος πολυ και λιθον τιμιον και ουκ ην κατα τα αρωματα εκεινα α εδωκεν βασιλισσα σαβα τω βασιλει σαλωμων
10 And the servants also of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and thyine trees, and most precious stones:	10 και οι παιδες σαλωμων και οι παιδες χιραμ εφερον χρυσιον τω σαλωμων εκ σουφιρ και ξυλα πευκινα και λιθον τιμιον
11 And the king made of the thyine trees stairs in the house of the Lord, and in the king's house, and harps and psalteries for the singing men: never were there seen such trees in the land of Juda.	11 και εποιησεν ο βασιλευς τα ξυλα τα πευκινα αναβασεις τω οικω κυριου και τω οικω του βασιλεως και κιθαρας και ναβλας τοις ωδοις και ουκ ωφθησαν τοιαυτα εμπροσθεν εν γη ιουδα
12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she desired, and that she asked, and many more things than she brought to him: so she returned, and went to her own country with her servants.	12 και ο βασιλευς σαλωμων εδωκεν τη βασιλισση σαβα παντα τα θεληματα αυτης α ητησεν εκτος παντων ων ηνεγκεν τω βασιλει σαλωμων και απεστρεψεν εις την γην αυτης
13 And the weight of the gold, that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:	13 και ην ο σταθμος του χρυσιου του ενεχθεντος τω σαλωμων εν ενιαυτω ενι εξακοσια εξηκοντα εξ ταλαντα χρυσιου
14 Beside the sum which the deputies of divers nations, and the merchants were accustomed to bring, and all the kings of Arabia, and the lords of the lands, who I brought gold and silver to Solomon.	14 πλην των ανδρων των υποτεταγμενων και των εμπορευομενων ων εφερον και παντων των βασιλεων της αραβιας και σατραπων της γης εφερον χρυσιον και αργυριον τω βασιλει σαλωμων
15 And king Solomon made two hundred golden spears, of the sum of six hundred pieces of gold, which went to every spear:	15 και εποιησεν ο βασιλευς σαλωμων διακοσιους θυρεους χρυσους ελατους εξακοσιοι χρυσοι καθαροι τω ενι θυρεω εξακοσιοι χρυσοι επησαν επι τον ενα θυρεον
16 And three hundred golden shields of three hundred pieces of gold, which went to the covering of every shield: and the king put them in the armoury, which was compassed with a wood.	16 και τριακοσιας ασπιδας ελατας χρυσας τριακοσιων χρυσων ανεφερετο επι την ασπιδα εκαστην και εδωκεν αυτας ο βασιλευς εν οικω δρυμου του λιβανου
17 The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.	17 και εποιησεν ο βασιλευς θρονον ελεφαντινον οδοντων μεγαν και κατεχρυσωσεν αυτον χρυσιω δοκιμω
18 And six steps to go up to the throne, and a footstool of gold, and two arms one on either side, and two lions standing by the arms:	18 και εξ αναβαθμοι τω θρονω ενδεδεμενοι χρυσιω και αγκωνες ενθεν και ενθεν επι του θρονου της καθεδρας και δυο λεοντες εστηκοτες παρα τους αγκωνας
19 Moreover twelve other little lions standing upon the steps on both sides: there was not such a throne in any kingdom.	19 και δωδεκα λεοντες εστηκοτες εκει επι των εξ αναβαθμων ενθεν και ενθεν ουκ εγενηθη ουτως εν παση βασιλεια
20 And all the vessels of the king's table were of gold, and the vessels of the house of the forest of Libanus were of the purest gold. For no account was made of silver in those days.	20 και παντα τα σκευη του βασιλεως σαλωμων χρυσιου και παντα τα σκευη οικου δρυμου του λιβανου χρυσιω κατειλημμενα ουκ ην αργυριον λογιζομενον εν ημεραις σαλωμων εις ουθεν
21 For the king's ships went to Tharsis with the servants of Hiram, once in three years: and they brought thence gold and silver, and ivory, and apes, and peacocks.	21 οτι ναυς τω βασιλει επορευετο εις θαρσις μετα των παιδων χιραμ απαξ δια τριων ετων ηρχετο πλοια εκ θαρσις τω βασιλει γεμοντα χρυσιου και αργυριου και οδοντων ελεφαντινων και πιθηκων
22 And Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth for riches and glory.	22 και εμεγαλυνθη σαλωμων υπερ παντας τους βασιλεις και πλουτω και σοφια
23 And all the kings of the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, that they might hear the wisdom which God had given in his heart.	23 και παντες οι βασιλεις της γης εζητουν το προσωπον σαλωμων ακουσαι της σοφιας αυτου ης εδωκεν ο θεος εν καρδια αυτου
24 And every year they brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, and horses, and mules.	24 και αυτοι εφερον εκαστος τα δωρα αυτου σκευη αργυρα και σκευη χρυσα και ιματισμον στακτην και ηδυσματα ιππους και ημιονους το κατ' ενιαυτον ενιαυτον
25 And Solomon had forty thousand horses in the stables, and twelve thousand chariots, and horsemen, and he placed them in the cities of the chariots, and where the king was in Jerusalem.	25 και ησαν τω σαλωμων τεσσαρες χιλιαδες θηλειαι ιπποι εις αρματα και δωδεκα χιλιαδες ιππεων και εθετο αυτους εν πολεσιν των αρματων και μετα του βασιλεως εν ιερουσαλημ
26 And he exercised authority over all the kings from the river Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.	26 και ην ηγουμενος παντων των βασιλεων απο του ποταμου και εως γης αλλοφυλων και εως οριου αιγυπτου
27 And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains.	27 και εδωκεν ο βασιλευς το χρυσιον και το αργυριον εν ιερουσαλημ ως λιθους και τας κεδρους ως συκαμινους τας εν τη πεδινη εις πληθος
28 And horses were brought to him out of Egypt, and out of all countries.	28 και η εξοδος των ιππων εξ αιγυπτου τω σαλωμων και εκ πασης της γης
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon first and last are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the boobs of Ahias the Silonite, and in the vision of Addo the seer, against Jeroboam the son of Nabat.	29 και οι καταλοιποι λογοι σαλωμων οι πρωτοι και οι εσχατοι ιδου γεγραμμενοι επι των λογων ναθαν του προφητου και επι των λογων αχια του σηλωνιτου και εν ταις ορασεσιν ιωηλ του ορωντος περι ιεροβοαμ υιου ναβατ
30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.	30 και εβασιλευσεν σαλωμων ο βασιλευς επι παντα ισραηλ τεσσαρακοντα ετη
31 And he slept d with his fathers: and they buried him in the city of David: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead	31 και εκοιμηθη σαλωμων και εθαψαν αυτον εν πολει δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου και εβασιλευσεν ροβοαμ υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου
