2 Chronicles 9:8 in Context — 2 Chronicles 9

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.

9 Y dió al rey ciento y veinte talentos de oro, y gran copia de aromas, y piedras preciosas: nunca hubo tales aromas como los que dió la reina de Seba al rey Salomón.

10 También los siervos de Hiram y los siervos de Salomón, que habían traído el oro de Ophir, trajeron madera de Algummim, y piedras preciosas.
