- 1 Rois 10
  
  1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Yahweh, she came to prove him with hard questions.
  
  2 She came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.
  
  3 Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hidden from the king which he didn't tell her.
  
  4 When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
  
  5 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, and his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Yahweh; there was no more spirit in her.
  
  6 She said to the king, "It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.
  
  7 However I didn't believe the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it. Behold, the half was not told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
  
  8 Happy are your men, happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.
  
  9 Blessed is Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because Yahweh loved Israel forever, therefore made he you king, to do justice and righteousness."
  
  10 She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones. There came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
  
  11 The navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees and precious stones.
  
  12 The king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of Yahweh, and for the king's house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen, to this day.
  
  13 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
  
  14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
  
  15 besides that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed people, and of the governors of the country.
  
  16 King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler.
  
  17 he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
  
  18 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
  
  19 There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.
  
  20 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.
  
  21 All king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
  
  22 For the king had at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram: once every three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
  
  23 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
  
  24 All the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
  
  25 They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
  
  26 Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
  
  27 The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
  
  28 The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; and the king's merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.
  
  29 A chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, they brought them out by their means.
  
  Ezéchiel 40
  
  1 In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was struck, in the same day, the hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me there.
  
  2 In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me down on a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south.
  
  3 He brought me there; and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
  
  4 The man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you; for, to the intent that I may show them to you, you are brought here: declare all that you see to the house of Israel.
  
  5 Behold, a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man's hand a measuring reed six cubits long, of a cubit and a handbreadth each: so he measured the thickness of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
  
  6 Then came he to the gate which looks toward the east, and went up its steps: and he measured the threshold of the gate, one reed broad; and the other threshold, one reed broad.
  
  7 Every lodge was one reed long, and one reed broad; and [the space] between the lodges was five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate toward the house was one reed.
  
  8 He measured also the porch of the gate toward the house, one reed.
  
  9 Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and its posts, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was toward the house.
  
  10 The lodges of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
  
  11 He measured the breadth of the opening of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits;
  
  12 and a border before the lodges, one cubit [on this side], and a border, one cubit on that side; and the lodges, six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
  
  13 He measured the gate from the roof of the one lodge to the roof of the other, a breadth of twenty-five cubits; door against door.
  
  14 He made also posts, sixty cubits; and the court [reached] to the posts, around the gate.
  
  15 [From] the forefront of the gate at the entrance to the forefront of the inner porch of the gate were fifty cubits.
  
  16 There were closed windows to the lodges, and to their posts within the gate all around, and likewise to the arches; and windows were around inward; and on [each] post were palm trees.
  
  17 Then brought he me into the outer court; and behold, there were rooms and a pavement, made for the court all around: thirty rooms were on the pavement.
  
  18 The pavement was by the side of the gates, answerable to the length of the gates, even the lower pavement.
  
  19 Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate to the forefront of the inner court outside, one hundred cubits, [both] on the east and on the north.
  
  20 The gate of the outer court whose prospect is toward the north, he measured its length and its breadth.
  
  21 The lodges of it were three on this side and three on that side; and its posts and its arches were after the measure of the first gate: its length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.
  
  22 The windows of it, and its arches, and the palm trees of it, were after the measure of the gate whose prospect is toward the east; and they went up to it by seven steps; and its arches were before them.
  
  23 There was a gate to the inner court over against the [other] gate, [both] on the north and on the east; and he measured from gate to gate one hundred cubits.
  
  24 He led me toward the south; and behold, a gate toward the south: and he measured its posts and its arches according to these measures.
  
  25 There were windows in it and in its arches all around, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.
  
  26 There were seven steps to go up to it, and its arches were before them; and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, on its posts.
  
  27 There was a gate to the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south a hundred cubits.
  
  28 Then he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
  
  29 and its lodges, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.
  
  30 There were arches all around, twenty-five cubits long, and five cubits broad.
  
  31 The arches of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts: and the ascent to it had eight steps.
  
  32 He brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures;
  
  33 and its lodges, and its posts, and its arches, according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in its arches all around; it was fifty cubits long, and twenty-five cubits broad.
  
  34 The arches of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.
  
  35 He brought me to the north gate: and he measured [it] according to these measures;
  
  36 its lodges, its posts, and its arches: and there were windows therein all around; the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth twenty-five cubits.
  
  37 The posts of it were toward the outer court; and palm trees were on its posts, on this side, and on that side: and the ascent to it had eight steps.
  
  38 A room with its door was by the posts at the gates; there they washed the burnt offering.
  
  39 In the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to kill thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.
  
  40 On the [one] side outside, as one goes up to the entry of the gate toward the north, were two tables; and on the other side, which belonged to the porch of the gate, were two tables.
  
  41 Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they killed [the sacrifices].
  
  42 There were four tables for the burnt offering, of cut stone, a cubit and a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high; whereupon they laid the instruments with which they killed the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
  
  43 The hooks, a handbreadth long, were fastened within all around: and on the tables was the flesh of the offering.
  
  44 Outside of the inner gate were rooms for the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south; one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.
  
  45 He said to me, This room, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the house;
  
  46 and the room whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Yahweh to minister to him.
  
  47 He measured the court, one hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar was before the house.
  
  48 Then he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.
  
  49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; even by the steps by which they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
  
  Philippiens 1
  
  1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants :
  
  2 Grace to you, and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
  
  3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
  
  4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all making my requests with joy,
  
  5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
  
  6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
  
  7 It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
  
  8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
  
  9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
  
  10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ;
  
  11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
  
  12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;
  
  13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;
  
  14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
  
  15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
  
  16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
  
  17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
  
  18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
  
  19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
  
  20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
  
  21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
  
  22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don't know what I will choose.
  
  23 But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
  
  24 Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
  
  25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,
  
  26 that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
  
  27 Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
  
  28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
  
  29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
  
  30 having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear is in me.
