Definitions for 1-kings 10:9

Blessed - Happy.

Barnes's 1-kings 10:9 Bible Commentary

Blessed be the Lord thy God - This acknowledgment of Yahweh falls below the confessions of Hiram 2 Chronicles 2:12 and Cyrus Ezra 1:3. It does not imply more than an admission of His power as a local deity; namely, that He is the God of the Jews and of their country.
