1 Kings 10:7
Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
KJV
super sermonibus tuis, et super sapientia tua : et non credebam narrantibus mihi, donec ipsa veni, et vidi oculis meis, et probavi quod media pars mihi nuntiata non fuerit : major est sapientia et opera tua, quam rumor quem audivi.
Vulgate
περὶ τοῦ λόγου σου καὶ περὶ τῆς φρονήσεώς σου· καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευσα τοῖς λαλοῦσίν μοι, ἕως ὅτου παρεγενόμην καὶ ἑωράκασιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου, καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ εἰσὶν τὸ ἥμισυ καθὼς ἀπήγγειλάν μοι, προστέθεικας ἀγαθὰ πρὸς αὐτὰ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀκοὴν ἣν ἤκουσα ἐν τῇ γῇ μου.
LXX
Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me; thy wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
