2 Chronicles 9:6 in Context — 2 Chronicles 9

4 Y las viandas de su mesa, y el asiento de sus siervos, y el estado de sus criados, y los vestidos de ellos, sus maestresalas y sus vestidos, y su subida por donde subía á la casa de Jehová, no quedó más espíritu en ella.

5 Y dijo al rey: Verdad es lo que había oído en mi tierra de tus cosas y de tu sabiduría;

6 Mas yo no creía las palabras de ellos, hasta que he venido, y mis ojos han visto: y he aquí que ni aun la mitad de la grandeza de tu sabiduría me había sido dicha; porque tú sobrepujas la fama que yo había oído.

7 Bienaventurados tus hombres, y dichosos estos tus siervos, que están siempre delante de ti, y oyen tu sabiduría.

8 Jehová tu Dios sea bendito, el cual se ha agradado en ti para ponerte sobre su trono por rey de Jehová tu Dios: por cuanto tu Dios amó á Israel para afirmarlo perpetuamente, por eso te ha puesto por rey sobre ellos, para que hagas juicio y justicia.
