1 Kings 10:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Howbeit I believed not this report, till I came, and had seen it with mine eyes: but lo, the one half was not told me: for thou hast more wisdom and prosperity, than I have heard by report.
8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand ever before thee, and hear thy [a]wisdom.
9 Blessed be the Lord thy God, which [b]loved thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel, because the Lord loved Israel forever, and made thee king to do [c]equity and righteousness.

1 Kings 10:7-9
New International Version
7 But I did not believe(A) these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told me; in wisdom and wealth(B) you have far exceeded the report I heard. 8 How happy your people must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear(C) your wisdom! 9 Praise(D) be to the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on the throne of Israel. Because of the Lord’s eternal love(E) for Israel, he has made you king to maintain justice(F) and righteousness.”
