the staves

 And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom:

 Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.

 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.

  Blessed be the Lord thy God, which delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king for the Lord thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
