to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from
shore. Then he sat down and taught the people
from the boat. Matthew 2819
When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of
Solomon and the palace he had built, 5 the food
on his table, the seating of his officials, the
attending servants in their robes, his
cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he made at
the temple of the LORD, she was overwhelmed. 6
She said to the king, "The report I heard in my
own country about your achievements and your
wisdom is true. I Kings 104-6
