Wisdom That Points to God

Name Date

Read and Think

The queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame concerning the name of the Lord. She traveled a long way to Jerusalem with a great caravan of camels carrying spices, gold, and precious stones. She came to test him with hard questions and spoke with him about all that was in her heart.

Solomon answered every question. When the queen saw his wisdom, his house, his servants, and his offerings at the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her. She said that the report she heard was true, but not even half was told her. She blessed the Lord, who delighted in Solomon and made him king to do justice and righteousness.

She gave the king a great amount of gold, spices, and precious stones. Hiram's ships also brought gold, almug wood, and precious stones from Ophir. Solomon made shields of gold and a great ivory throne with six steps and twelve lions. Silver was as common as stones in Jerusalem. All the earth sought Solomon's presence to hear the wisdom God had put in his heart.
