How we cite our quotes: (Chapter:Verse)
Quote #4
When the queen of Sheba had observed all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, the food of his table, the seating of his officials, and the attendance of his servants, their clothing, his valets, and his burnt-offerings that he offered at the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her. (NRSV 10:4-5)
And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built, And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the Lord; there was no more spirit in her. (KJV 10:4-5)
The Queen of Sheba, we have to assume, was quite the powerhouse herself. So for her to get all starry-eyed at Solomon's greatness means he must have had influence and dominion of galactic proportions.

The weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold, besides that which came from the traders and from the business of the merchants, and from all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land. (NRSV 10:14-15)
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold, Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country. (KJV 10:14-15)
Money = power, baby. You could probably contend that Solomon's wealth was his single most important source of power. It multiplied his political, social, military, and maybe even religious power—though it may ultimately have been detrimental to his spiritual power.
Quote #6
When the king heard what the man of God cried out against the altar at Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, 'Seize him!' But the hand that he stretched out against him withered so that he could not draw it back to himself. The altar also was torn down, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of the Lord. The king said to the man of God, 'Entreat now the favour of the Lord your God, and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored to me.' So the man of God entreated the Lord; and the king's hand was restored to him, and became as it was before. (NRSV 13:4-6)
And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him. The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord. And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before. (KJV 13:4-6)
Up until now in 1st Kings, power was either political or (in Solomon's case) cognitive. Now, suddenly, there's what looks to us like straight-up magic: magic powers to shrivel up a guy's hand when he tries to grab you. Of course, even Jeroboam realizes that this power comes from God, not the man, and he asks him to "[e]ntreat now the favour of the Lord" to get his hand back.
