4. Formal Translation The queen observed the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his attendants and their garments, the cupbearers in their vestments, and the ascent by which he went up to the house of the LORD {Yahweh, Worship Focus}; and there was no more spirit {ruach: breath, inner strength} in her. |
4. Dynamic Translation The queen saw the sumptuous food on his table, his servants and attendants seated and dressed, his cupbearers in their robes, and the manner of his ascent to the house of the LORD {Yahweh, Reigning Sovereign}; and she was left utterly breathless. |
