Psalm 45:9Contemporary English Version 1995Daughters of kings are here, and your bride stands at your right side, wearing a wedding gown trimmed with pure gold. See the chapter |
In return, Solomon gave her the gifts he would have given any other ruler, but he also gave her everything else she wanted. Then she and her officials went back to their own country. King Hiram's ships brought gold, juniper wood, and jewels from the country of Ophir. Solomon used the wood to make steps for the temple and palace, and harps and other stringed instruments for the musicians. It was the best juniper wood anyone in Israel had ever seen.
