1 Kings 10:7 in Context — 1 Kings 10
5 Também a comida de sua mesa, o assento de seus servos, o estado e roupas dos que lhe serviam, seus mestres-salas, e seus holocaustos que sacrificava na casa do SENHOR, ficou pasma.
6 E disse ao rei: Verdade é o que ouvi em minha terra de tuas coisas e de tua sabedoria;
7 Mas eu não o cria, até que vim, e meus olhos viram, que nem ainda a metade foi o que se me disse: é maior tua sabedoria e bem que a fama que eu havia ouvido.
8 Bem-aventurados teus homens, ditosos estes teus servos, que estão continuamente diante de ti, e ouvem tua sabedoria.
9 o SENHOR teu Deus seja bendito, que se agradou de ti para te pôr no trono de Israel; porque o SENHOR amou sempre a Israel, e te pôs por rei, para que faças direito e justiça.
