Hence, when honored by a visit from the beautiful queen of Sheba, bringing with her, camels bearing spices, and very much gold and precious stones, it was doubtless in the contemplation of his magnificent stud of horses and chariots, kept for the amusement of his wives and concubines, as well as for his other vast displays of power and magnificence, that her majesty exclaimed, in[5] the fulness of her admiration: Howbeit, I believed not the words, until I came and mine eyes had seen it, and behold the half was not told unto me. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
