According to the Hebrew Bible, the unnamed queen of the land of Sheba heard of the great wisdom of King Solomon of Israel and journeyed there with gifts of spices, gold, precious stones and beautiful wood to test him with questions, as recorded in First Kings 10:1-13 (largely copied in 2 Chronicles 9:1-12). The queen was awed by Solomon's wisdom and wealth, and pronounced a blessing on Solomon's God. Solomon reciprocated with gifts and "everything she desired," whereupon the queen returned to her country. The queen was apparently quite rich herself, as she brought 4.5 tons of gold with her to give to Solomon (1 Kings 10:10).

Yes.
edit:
1 Kings 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.

absolutely, 1 Kings 10:1-5
1 When the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon and his relation to the name of the LORD, she came to test him with hard questions. 2 Arriving at Jerusalem with a very great caravan—with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones—she came to Solomon and talked with him about all that she had on her mind. 3 Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for the king to explain to her. 4 When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon and the palace he had built, 5 the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes, his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he made at [a] the temple of the LORD, she was overwhelmed.

She got here from Ethiopia, the assumption has constantly been. yet, there's a clean concept that, because of the Frankincense she added to Solomon, and archaeological unearths, she got here from the Yemen section on the border with Ethiopia. The final emperor of Ethiopia became into referred to as '' The Lion of Judah'', as he felt his ancestry could be traced back to the Queen of Sheba and Solomon. actual or no longer, no person knows.

Jesus spoke of her as the Queen of the South. "The Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation at the judgment and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here."

As we've heard, she came to visit Solomon, and brought many expensive gifts with her. The story is in the Bible, I think in 2 Kings.

I believe so... if I remember correctly she came to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and brought a lot of nice gifts.
