Joe: Alright, so we’ve just started 2 Chronicles 9. What’s the story here?

Bible Expert: Well, the Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon in Jerusalem and she is amazed by the wealth and abundance in his kingdom. She gives him a lot of gifts and he gives her some of his own in return.

Joe: Wow, that’s amazing! What kind of gifts did she bring him?

Bible Expert: Well, she brought him gold, spices and precious stones.

Joe: Jamie, Google how much gold she brought him!

Jamie: (in the background) Uh… looks like she brought him about a hundred and twenty-five tons of gold!

Joe: Holy cow! That’s a lot of gold! What else happened?

Bible Expert: Well, Solomon also gave her some of his own gifts, including many valuable items and even some of his own horses.

Joe: Wow, so he must have really liked her! What happened after that?

Bible Expert: Well, after that, the Queen of Sheba returns to her own country and King Solomon continues to prosper and become even more powerful.
