And when she was come to Solomon, she proposed to him all that was in her heart. |

Because God loveth Israel, and will preserve them for ever: therefore hath he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice. |

| 10 ܘܐܦ ܥܒ̣ܕܘ̈ܗܝ ܕܚܝܪܡ ܘܥܒ̣ܕ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܐܝܬܝܘ ܕܗܒܐ ܡܢ ܐܘܦܝܪ ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܩܝܣ̈ܐ ܕܐܫܟܪܥܐ | 10 And the servants also of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and thyine trees, and most precious stones: |

| 12 ܘܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܝܗܒ ܠܡܠܟܬ ܫܒܐ ܟܘܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܫܐܠܬܗ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܗ̇ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܠܒܗ̇ ܘܩܡܬ ܐܙܠܬ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܗ̇ ܗܝ ܘܥܒ̣ܕ̈ܝܗ̇ | 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. |
| 13 ܘܗܘܐ ܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܕܥܐ̇ܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܒܫܢܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܫܬܡܐܐ ܘܫܬܝܢ ܘܫܬ ܟܟܪ̈ܝܢ ܕܕܗܒܐ | 13 And the weight of the gold, that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold: |

| 15 ܘܥܒܕ ܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܡܐܬܝܢ ܣܟܪ̈ܝܢ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܫܬܡܐܐ ܕܪ̈ܝܟܘܢܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܛܒܐ ܩܪܡ ܠܣܟܪܐ ܚܕܐ | 15 And king Solomon made two hundred golden spears, of the sum of six hundred pieces of gold, which went to every spear: |
| 16 ܘܬܠܬܡܐܐ ܣܟܪ̈ܝܢ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܬܠܬܐ ܡܢܝ̈ܢ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܥܒܕ ܒܝܬ ܡܘܚܕ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܣܟܪܐ ܚܕܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܐܢ̈ܝܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܒܝܬ ܥܒܐ ܕܠܒܢܢ | 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. |
| 17 ܘܥܒܕ ܡܠܟܐ ܟܘܪܣܝܐ ܕܫܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܩܪܡܗ ܕܗܒܐ ܕܟܝܐ | 17 The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. |

For no account was made of silver in those days. |
| 21 ܡܛܠ ܕܣܦܝ̈ܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬ ܗܘ̈ܝ ܠܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐ̈ܙܠܢ ܗܘ̈ܝ ܠܬܪܫܝܫ ܥܡ ܥܒ̣ܕ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܚܝܪܡ ܚܕܐ ܠܬܠܬ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܐܬܝ̈ܢ ܗܘ̈ܝ ܘܣܦܝ̈ܢܐ ܕܐܙ̈ܠܢ ܗܘ̈ܝ ܠܬܪܫܝܫ ܛܥܝ̈ܢܢ ܟܣܦܐ ܘܕܗܒܐ ܘܦܝ̈ܠܐ ܘܩܘ̈ܦܐ ܘܛܘ̈ܣܐ | 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. |
| 22 ܘܝܪܒ ܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܒܥܘܬܪܐ ܘܒܚܟܡܬܐ | 22 And Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth for riches and glory. |
| 23 ܘܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܡܠܟ̈ܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܒ̇ܥܝܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܐܦܘ̈ܗܝ ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܘܠܡܫܡܥ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܠܒܗ | 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. |
| 24 ܘܗܢܘܢ ܡܝܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܓܒܪ ܩܘܪܒܢܗ ܡ̈ܐܢܝ ܣܐܡܐ ܘܡ̈ܐܢܝ ܕܗܒܐ ܘܢܚ̈ܬܐ ܘܡܘܪܐ ܘܒܣ̈ܡܐ ܘܪ̈ܟܫܐ ܘܟܘ̈ܕܢܘܬܐ ܒܚܘܫܒܢܐ ܟܠ ܫܢܐ ܒܫܢܐ | 24 And every year they brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, and horses, and mules. |
| 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. |
| 26 ܘܗܘܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܫܠܝܛ ܒܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܡܠܟܘ̈ܬܐ ܡܢ ܢܗܪܐ ܦܪܬ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܦܠܫ̈ܬܝܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܡܨܪ̈ܝܐ | 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. |
| 27 ܘܝܗܒ ܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܟܣܦܐ ܐܝܟ ܟܐ̈ܦܐ ܘܐܪ̈ܙܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܝܟ ܚܠܐ ܕܥܠ ܣܦܬ ܝܡܐ ܣܘܓܐܐ | 27 And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains. |

| 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. |
| 30 ܘܐܡܠܟ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܥܠ ܟܘܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܝܢ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ | 30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. |
