tamrin

And there was a certain wise man, the leader of a merchant's caravan, whose name was Tamrin, and he used to load five hundred and twenty camels, and he possessed about three and seventy ships.

And that merchant, whose name was Tamrin, the merchant of the Queen of Ethiopia, went to Solomon the King; and Solomon took whatsoever he desired from him, and he gave to the merchant whatsoever he wished for in great abundance.

And it came to pass that the merchant Tamrin wished to return to his own country, and he went to Solomon and bowed low before him, and embraced him and said unto him, "Peace be to thy majesty!

And Tamrin bade him farewell, and went forth, and journeyed along his road, and came to his Lady, and delivered over to her all the possessions which he had brought.

And each morning Tamrin related to the Queen [about] all the wisdom of Solomon, how he administered judgment and did what was just, and how he ordered his table, and how he made feasts, and how he taught wisdom, and how he directed his servants and all his affairs on a wise system, and how they went on their errands at his command, and how no man defrauded another, and how no man purloined the property of his neighbour, and how there was neither a thief nor a robber in his days.

All these things did Tamrin relate unto the Queen, and each morning he recalled the things that he had seen with the King and described them unto her.

And the Queen was struck dumb with wonder at the things that she heard from the merchant her servant, and she thought in her heart that she would go to him; and she wept by reason of the greatness of her pleasure in those things that Tamrin had told her.

And time after time she asked Tamrin questions about Solomon, and time after time Tamrin told her about him, and she became very wishful and most desirous to go that she might hear his wisdom, and see his face, and embrace him, and petition his royalty.

And the Queen called Tamrin, the chief of her caravan men and merchants, and she said unto him, "Get ready for thy journey and take this young man with thee, for he importuneth me by night and by day.

And the headmen of the merchant Tamrin answered and said unto Benaiah, "Our country is the better.

And the merchant Tamrin spake again unto King Solomon, saying, "Hearken, O King, unto the message which thy handmaiden, the Queen my mistress, sent by me: `Take this young man, anoint him, consecrate him, and bless him, and make him king over our country, and give him the command that a woman shall never again reign [in this country], and send him back in peace.

For his mother said in [her] message by Tamrin her servant, `Give us some of the fringe of the covering of Zion, so that we may worship it, we and those who are in subjection unto us and all our kingdom.'
