2 Chronicles — Chapter 9


Verse 5

DE VIRTUTIBUS TUIS — Hebrew, Septuagint, and Chaldaic all read 'de verbis tuis' (concerning thy words/deeds), not merely thy virtues: the Queen of Sheba came to hear and test all that had been reported of Solomon's wisdom and works.

Verse 8

SIT DOMINUS DEUS TUUS BENEDICTUS, QUI VOLUIT TE ORDINARE SUPER THRONUM SUUM — the Queen of Sheba recognises that Solomon's throne is properly the throne of God, and that his rule is a divine vicegerency ordered for justice and judgment.
