2 Chronicles 9:4

And 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.

And the meat {H3978} of his table {H7979}, and the sitting {H4186} of his servants {H5650}, and the attendance {H4612} of his ministers {H8334}, and their apparel {H4403}; his cupbearers {H8248} also, and their apparel {H4403}; and his ascent {H5944} by which he went up {H5927} into the house {H1004} of the LORD {H3068}; there was no more spirit {H7307} in her.

the food at his table, the manner of seating his officials, the manner in which his staff served him and how they were dressed, his personal servants and how they were dressed, and his manner of going up to the house of ADONAI, it left her breathless.

the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the service and attire of his attendants and cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he presented at the house of the LORD, it took her breath away.

and the food 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 unto the house of Jehovah; there was no more spirit in her.
