Sheba was The Bible name for an area of what is known today as either southern Saudi Arabia and Yemen, or Ethiopia, or both. Also known as Saba, its people were known as Sabeans. The visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon is one of the most famous stories of Bible History. Although her actual name is not recorded in the Bible account, there is a Muslim tradition that she was called Balkis. An Ethiopian account also claims that she had at least one child with Solomon, although again the Bible makes no such mention. Ethiopian art depicts the whole story of her alleged relationship with Solomon, culminating in his giving he a ring in acknowledgment that the child she was carrying was his. The Ethiopian emperors (the last of these being Haile Selassie) claimed to be descended from this alliance.

The Queen of Sheba was from Ethiopia. She lived during the days of King Solomon of Israel. She went to Israel to meet the King, and as the story goes, they fell in love. They had a son, who was named Menelek, in Ethiopian legends. He became ruler of Ethiopia and started the oldest royal dynasty to exist. Haile Selassie was the last ruler, and called himself the Lion of Judah, in referring back to Solomon.
Some say that many of the Songs of Solomon, in the Bible, are written by Solomon to the Queen of Sheba.

I read some of your answers and you are getting bits and pieces of truth. The Queen of Sheba was the the ruler of modern day Ethiopia. She heard of the wisdom of Solomon and came to see for herself.They fell in love and she became pregnant. She went home and gave birth to their son. Although it is not mentioned in the bible, it is rumoured the their son came back to his fathers land and took the Ark of the Covenant back to Ethiopia with him and it is still there today.

During Solomon's reign he became rich and powerful.
Word of this spread and She was a Queen in Ethiopia I think
Story is in 1Kings 10 chapter. She was very impressed with the King and she gave him a bunch of stuff and he gave her a bunch of stuff. After visiting she left with all her entourage.

No, she was never married to King Solomon, although he did have plethora of wives. She was the ruler of a country and heard about Solomon's wisdom and came to visit him. She left believing in the God of the Jews because of his wisdom. The Bible never says a word about them having any kind of "relations" other than that.

1 Kings, chapter 10
Compare with Revised Standard Version: 1Kgs.10
1: And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
2: And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
3: And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
4: And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,
5: 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.
6: And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
7: Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
8: Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
9: Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.
10: And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
11: And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.
12: And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.
13: And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.
