1 Kings 10:10 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

She gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, &c. These magnificent presents show that this queen was exceeding rich: her country, without doubt, abounded in gold at that time, as well as in cinnamon, myrrh, and frankincense, in vast plenty. There came no more such abundance of spices, &c. For, it seems, the Jews maintained no trade with this country.

1 Kings 10:10

10 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
