5 et les mets de sa table, et la demeure de ses serviteurs, et les fonctions et les vêtements de ceux qui le servaient, et ses échansons, et ses holocaustes qu’il offrait dans la maison de l’Éternel.
6 Hors d’elle même, elle dit au roi: C’était donc vrai ce que j’ai appris dans mon pays au sujet de ta position et de ta sagesse!
7 Je ne le croyais pas, avant d’être venue et d’avoir vu de mes yeux. Et voici, on ne m’en a pas dit la moitié. Tu as plus de sagesse et de prospérité que la renommée ne me l’a fait connaître.
8 Heureux tes gens, heureux tes serviteurs qui sont continuellement devant toi, qui entendent ta sagesse!
9 Béni soit l’Éternel, ton Dieu, qui t’a accordé la faveur de te placer sur le trône d’Israël! C’est parce que l’Éternel aime à toujours Israël, qu’il t’a établi roi pour que tu fasses droit et justice.
