旧约 - 历代记下(2 Chronicles)第9章

When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. Arriving with a very great caravan--with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones--she came to Solomon and talked with him about all she had on her mind.
Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for him to explain to her.
When the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, as well as the palace he had built,
the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes, the cupbearers in their robes and the burnt offerings he made at the temple of the LORD, she was overwhelmed.
She said to the king, "The report I heard in my own country about your achievements and your wisdom is true.
But I did not believe what they said until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half the greatness of your wisdom was told me; you have far exceeded the report I heard.
How happy your men must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom!
Praise be to the LORD your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on his throne as king to rule for the LORD your God. Because of the love of your God for Israel and his desire to uphold them forever, he has made you king over them, to maintain justice and righteousness."
Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, large quantities of spices, and precious stones. There had never been such spices as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
(The men of Hiram and the men of Solomon brought gold from Ophir; they also brought algumwood and precious stones.
The king used the algumwood to make steps for the temple of the LORD and for the royal palace, and to make harps and lyres for the musicians. Nothing like them had ever been seen in Judah.)
King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired and asked for; he gave her more than she had brought to him. Then she left and returned with her retinue to her own country.
The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents,
not including the revenues brought in by merchants and traders. Also all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon.
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred bekas of hammered gold went into each shield.
He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold, with three hundred bekas of gold in each shield. The king put them in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.
Then the king made a great throne inlaid with ivory and overlaid with pure gold.
The throne had six steps, and a footstool of gold was attached to it. On both sides of the seat were armrests, with a lion standing beside each of them.
Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like it had ever been made for any other kingdom.
All King Solomon's goblets were gold, and all the household articles in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Nothing was made of silver, because silver was considered of little value in Solomon's day.
The king had a fleet of trading ships manned by Hiram's men. Once every three years it returned, carrying gold, silver and ivory, and apes and baboons.
King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth.
All the kings of the earth sought audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom God had put in his heart.
Year after year, everyone who came brought a gift--articles of silver and gold, and robes, weapons and spices, and horses and mules.
Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horses, which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
He ruled over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.
The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills.
Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and from all other countries.
As for the other events of Solomon's reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the records of Nathan the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Then he rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam his son succeeded him as king.
历代志下第九章   第 9 章 

  代下 9:1-8> 神祝福的光,会向我们所意想不到的人见证神的真实,我生命的光是在照耀着,还是在熄灭中? 

  9:1-8 示巴女王风闻所罗门的智慧,特来探究。她亲眼看到卓尔不凡的光景,“诧异得神不守舍”。尽管所罗门已娶了法老的女儿,他在人生的这个阶段仍然诚心诚意地想顺服神。在别人渐渐了解你,想以难题考验你的时候,你的回应是否仍能见证神,让人知道你的成就是来自神所赐的智慧呢?你的生活可以成为神大能的见证。你要使别人看出神的灵正在你身上运行。 

  代下 9:8> 于任何情况之下,都可以让看见的人称颂神的伟大──所罗门的生命如是,我们可以吗? 

  9:8 示巴女王对所罗门深感钦佩,声称神必定深爱祂的百姓,所以赐给他们这样一位明君。所罗门作王时,以色列国兴盛繁荣,显明了神对祂百姓的眷爱。太平盛世固然显明神的信实与慈爱;但是信徒也会面临艰辛的年代,那时信徒坚毅忍耐、充满盼望的表现,正显明我们对神的忠心与顺服。我们的生活方式,能叫别人看见我们对神的热爱。 

  代下 9:11> 9:11 檀香木可能是红色光滑的紫檀木,加工后木质有光泽、木纹细腻,非常贵重。 

  代下 9:29> 历代志下没提到所罗门的晚年,他的晚年── 

  9:29 所罗门晚年偏离神,使举国敬拜偶像。他其余的事迹,请参列王纪上 10 章 26 至 11 章 43 节。
