3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
3 When the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, as well as the palace he had built,
3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
3 When the queen of Sheba experienced for herself Solomon's wisdom and saw with her own eyes the palace he had built,
3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
3 When the queen of Sheba realized how wise Solomon was, and when she saw the palace he had built,

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 9:1-12
(Read 2 Chronicles 9:1-12)
This history has been considered, Matthew 12:42, we must not pass it over without observing, that those who know the worth of true wisdom will grudge no pains or cost to obtain it. The queen of Sheba put herself to a great deal of trouble and expense to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and yet, learning from him to serve God, and do her duty, she thought herself well paid for her pains. Heavenly wisdom is that pearl of great price, for which, if we part with all, we make a good bargain.
