2USolomoni wayiphendula yonke imibuzo yakhe; kwakungekho lutho olufihlekile kuSolomoni angamtshelanga lona.
3Lapho indlovukazi yaseSheba ibona ukuhlakanipha kukaSolomoni nendlu ayakhileyo,
4nokudla kwetafula lakhe, nokuhlala kwezinceku zakhe, nenkonzo yezinceku zakhe, nezingubo zazo; nabaphathizitsha nezingubo zabo; nokukhuphuka kwakhe akhuphukela ngakho endlini kaJehova; kwakungasekho umoya kuye.
5Wayesethi enkosini: “Kuyizindaba ezinhle engazizwa ezweni lami ngezenzo zakho nangokuhlakanipha kwakho.
6Kodwa angizange ngikholwe amazwi abo, ngaze ngafika futhi amehlo ami akubona; bheka, angitshelwanga nenxenye yobukhulu bokuhlakanipha kwakho, ngokuba udlula udumo engiluzwile.
7Ayajabula amadoda akho, futhi zibusisiwe lezi zinceku zakho ezimi njalo phambi kwakho futhi zizwa ukuhlakanipha kwakho.
8Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho othokozile ngawe ukuba akubeke esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi, ube yinkosi kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho; ngokuba uNkulunkulu wakho wathanda u-Israyeli ukuba awaqinise kuze kube phakade, ngalokho wamisa inkosi yakho phezu kwabo ukwenza ukulunga nokulunga.
9Yanika inkosi amatalenta egolide ayikhulu namashumi amabili, namakha amaningi, namatshe ayigugu; kwakungekho makha anjengalawo indlovukazi yaseSheba eyawanika inkosi uSolomoni.
10Futhi izinceku zikaHiramu nezinceku zikaSolomoni, ezaletha igolide livela e-Ofiri, zaletha ama-alum namatshe ayigugu.
11Ngemithi yomu-aligumi inkosi yenza izithala zendlu kaJehova nezesigodlo senkosi, nezigubhu namahabhu abahlabeleli; futhi wayengakaze abonwe umuntu onjalo ezweni lakwaJuda.
12Inkosi uSolomoni yanika indlovukazi yaseSheba konke ekufunayo, nakho konke ekucelile, ngaphandle kwalokho ekulethe enkosini. Wayesephenduka, waya ezweni lakubo, yena nezinceku zakhe.
13Isisindo segolide elatholwa nguSolomoni ngomnyaka owodwa sasingamatalenta angamakhulu ayisithupha namashumi ayisithupha nesithupha;
14Ngaphandle kwalokho okwalethwa izigebengu nabathengisi. Wonke amakhosi ase-Arabiya nababusi bezwe baletha igolide nesiliva kuSolomoni.
15Inkosi uSolomoni yenza amashekeli angamakhulu amabili egolide elikhandiweyo;
16Wenza amahawu angamakhulu amathathu egolide elikhandiweyo; Inkosi yasibeka endlini yehlathi laseLebanoni.
17Ngaphezu kwalokho, inkosi yenza isihlalo sobukhosi esikhulu sezinyo lendlovu yasinameka ngegolide elihlanzekile.
18Kwakukhona izinyathelo eziyisithupha zesihlalo sobukhosi, nesenabelo sezinyawo segolide, esasinamathele esihlalweni sobukhosi, nezisekelo ngapha nangapha kwesihlalo, kumi izingonyama ezimbili ngasezisekelo.
19Kwakumi izingonyama eziyishumi nambili ngalapha nangalapha ezitebhisini eziyisithupha; Akwenziwanga into efana nayo kunoma yimuphi umbuso.
20Zonke izitsha zokuphuza zenkosi uSolomoni zazingezegolide, nazo zonke izitsha zendlu yehlathi laseLebanoni zazingezegolide elicwengekileyo; lalingento yalutho emihleni kaSolomoni.
21Ngokuba imikhumbi yenkosi yahamba nezinceku zikaHiramu kuya eTharishishi; njalo ngeminyaka emithathu imikhumbi yaseTharishishi yafika iletha igolide, nesiliva, nezimpondo zendlovu, nezinkawu, namapigogo.
22Inkosi uSolomoni yabadlula wonke amakhosi omhlaba ngenotho langokuhlakanipha.
23Wonke amakhosi omhlaba afuna ubuso bukaSolomoni ukuze ezwe ukuhlakanipha kwakhe uNkulunkulu ayekunike enhliziyweni yakhe.
24Baletha, kwaba yilowo nalowo isipho sakhe: izitsha zesiliva, nezitsha zegolide, nezingubo, nezikhali, namakha, namahhashi, neminyuzi, iminyaka ngeminyaka.
25USolomoni wayenezitebele eziyizinkulungwane ezine zamahhashi nezezinqola, nabamahhashi abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili; eyakubeka emizini yempi nasenkosini eJerusalema.
26Wabusa phezu kwawo onke amakhosi kusukela emfuleni kuze kube sezweni lamaFilisti nasemkhawulweni waseGibithe.
27Inkosi yenza isiliva eJerusalema njengamatshe, yenza nemisedari njengemithombe emithonjeni eminingi.
28Basebemletha uSolomoni amabhiza eGibhithe lakuwo wonke amazwe.
29Ezinye izindaba zikaSolomoni, ezokuqala nezokugcina, angithi zilotshiwe encwadini kaNathani umprofethi nasesiprofethweni sika-Ahiya waseShilo nasemibonweni ka-Ido umboni ngoJerobowamu indodana kaNebati na?
30USolomoni wabusa iminyaka engamashumi amane eJerusalema phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke.
31USolomoni wayeselala koyise, wembelwa emzini kaDavide uyise; uRehobowamu indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
