2 Chronicles 9

v.2

Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for him to explain to her.

v.4

the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes, the cupbearers in their robes and the burnt offerings he made at the temple of the Lord, she was overwhelmed.

It was not inexplicable that the queen of Sheba fainted, and had her bodily strength taken away, when she came to see the glory of Solomon. Much less is it inexplicable that she who is the antitype of the queen of Sheba, namely the Church, who is brought, as it were, from the utmost ends of the earth, from being an alien and stranger, far off, in a state of sin and misery, should faint when she comes to see the glory of Christ, who is the antitype of Solomon. And this will be especially so in that prosperous, peaceful, glorious kingdom which He will set up in the world in its latter age.

All King Solomon’s goblets were gold, and all the household articles in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Nothing was made of silver, because silver was considered of little value in Solomon’s day.

v.22

King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth.

v.23

All the kings of the earth sought audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom God had put in his heart.
