4 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 leurs vêtements, et les degrés par lesquels on montait à la maison de l’Éternel.

5 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!

6 Je ne croyais pas ce qu’on en disait, avant d’être venue et d’avoir vu de mes yeux. Et voici, on ne m’a pas raconté la moitié de la grandeur de ta sagesse. Tu surpasses ce que la renommée m’a fait connaître.

7 Heureux tes gens, heureux tes serviteurs, qui sont continuellement devant toi et qui entendent ta sagesse!

8 Béni soit l’Éternel, ton Dieu, qui t’a accordé la faveur de te placer sur son trône comme roi pour l’Éternel, ton Dieu! C’est parce que ton Dieu aime Israël et veut le faire subsister à toujours, qu’il t’a établi roi sur lui pour que tu fasses droit et justice.
