2 Chronicles 9:4 Explained in Context
Use this verse as a doorway into the larger passage—not as an isolated saying.
Verse 4. 4And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.

- 2 Chronicles 9:1–9:12
Adds food, officials, servants, clothing, cupbearers, and temple ascent. Read 2 Chronicles 9:4 within 9:1–9:12. The complete unit records: A foreign queen arrives with hard questions and wealth, judges Solomon's wisdom and court order, blesses Israel's God, exchanges gifts, and returns home.
Why It Needs Context
Adds food, officials, servants, clothing, cupbearers, and temple ascent. Its responsible force depends on 9:1–9:12; isolated from “The Queen of Sheba tests Solomon,” the supporting action, name, number, object, quotation, or transition could be mistaken for independent teaching.
