The Queen of Sheba heard of Solomon’s fame so she traveled to Jerusalem to
meet him in person and to test him with difficult questions.
She brought with her a large group of attendants and camels loaded with
spices, jewels and large amount of gold.
When she met King Solomon, she asked him all the questions that she could
think of and he answered them all. There was nothing difficult for him to
explain.
Queen of Sheba heard Solomon’s wisdom and saw the palace he had built.
She saw the food that was served at his table, the living quarters for his
officials, the organization of his palace staffs and their uniforms, the
sacrifices he offered in the temple. It left her breathless and amazed.
She said to King Solomon “What I heard in my country about you and your
wisdom is true! But I couldn’t believe it until I had come and seen it all for
myself. But I didn’t hear even half of it. Your wisdom and wealth are much
greater than what I was told. Praise the Lord your God! He has shown how
pleased he is with you by making you King of Israel.
She presented to King Solomon the gifts that she brought and he gave her
everything she asked for and other customary gifts that he had generously given
her. Then she and her attendants returned to the land of Sheba.
In this story, we learn that our God gave King Solomon a lot of blessings
and Queen of Sheba witness it. Truly, it is worthy to give praise
to our Lord.
She was amazed with King
Solomon’s wisdom, fame and wealth. All these came from God. Let us always be
pleasing to God - bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the
knowledge of God and he will always be with us.
