The Queen of Sheba

What the Bible says

1 Kings 10:1-2

¹And the queen of Saba, having; heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, came to try him with hard questions. ²And entering into Jerusalem with a great train, and riches, and camels that carried spices, and an immense quantity of gold, and precious stones, she came to king Solomon, and spoke to him all that she had in her heart.

1 Kings 10:4-10

⁴And when the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built, ⁵And the meat of his table, and the apartments of his servants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts, which he offered in the house of the Lord: she had no longer any spirit in her, ⁶And she said to the king: The report is true, which I heard in my own country, ⁷Concerning thy words, and concerning thy wisdom. And I did not believe them that told me, till I came myself, and saw with my own eyes, and have found that the half hath not been told me: thy wisdom and thy works, exceed the fame which I heard. ⁸Blessed are thy men, and blessed are thy servants, who stand before thee always, and hear thy wisdom. ⁹Blessed be the Lord thy God, whom thou hast pleased, and who hath set thee upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord hath loved Israel for ever, and hath appointed thee king, to do judgment and justice. ¹⁰And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great store, and precious stones: there was brought no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.

Matthew 12:42

The queen of the south shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon here.
