This Ethiopian queen became amaze to see the untold story of this king of Isreal

The Queen of Sheba…alright if you really trust the Bible, then we shall follow it.

As her title suggests she is a queen of a place called Sheba. In the 1 Kings 10 it is shown that she was able to speak to Solomon without any problems when it comes to language. Meaning she could speak Hebrew and didn’t need a translator. The Queen of Sheba knows Hebrew.

In the same chapter she left with her retinue to her own country. Meaning afterwards she didn’t have anything to do with King Solomon. Information that she had seduced King Solomon isn’t exactly here. They never got together so other information that they are a pair is false as the Bible didn’t state that.

Now to the place called Sheba. In the Table of Nations of Genesis 10 there are two Sheba:

Sheba, son of Raamah, son of Cush, son of Ham

Sheba, son of Joktan, son of Eber, son of Shelah, son of Arpachshad, son of Shem

One is of the African/Ham lineage while the other is of the Asian/Shem lineage but this Queen of Sheba knew the Hebrew language or whatever the language was called in their time, a sign that she is of Hebrew lineage as well so I conclude that this is not in Africa. From the descendants of Peleg, none were named Sheba. So it isn’t in the Middle East/Arabia as well.

This Sheba, a descendant of Shem/Eber/Joktan is also a brother of Ophir! From this we can or maybe not take that this Sheba has a territory that is close to Ophir’s. The Queen of Sheba, a descendant of Sheba, heard from King Solomon through passing of the ships of Tarshish that were going to Ophir, the lands owned by Ophir, son of Joktan.

For more proof that the Queen of Sheba is not in Arabia/Africa.

This verse is part of the chapter dedicated to the Queen of Sheba

1 Kings 11

“Hiram’s ships (probably the Tarshish ships) brought gold from Ophir; and from there they brought great cargoes of almugwood and precious stones. The king used the almugwood to make supports for the temple of the Lord and for the royal palace, and to make harps and lyres for the musicians. So much almugwood has never been imported or seen since that day”

But many claim that the queen is from a place where camels are. Haven’t they even thought that maybe it was practical to bring the spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones not on foot from the port to Israel? And also where is their almugwood in Africa?

Edit: More proof that Queen of Sheba’s domain is not very close to Solomon’s kingdom.

Matthew 12:42

“ The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here”.

These was one of Jesus’ prophecies. Do you know why I marked these in particular? What did the people in that time that wrote this thought what the “uttermost parts of the earth”?

According to the Greek scriptures, “uttermost” was written “Peras Ge”. It can be understood as extremity, boundary, frontier and with maps that would be the ends of the earth, the remotest lands.

So it can’t be Yemen/Arabian Peninsula or Ethiopia/Africa as the logical conclusion as Eratosthenes created a world map before Jesus Christ’s birth. It had the British Isles, and India in it. The Greek world also knew the existence of the Pacific Isles as well.

Queen of Sheba, Arabic Bilqīs, Ethiopian Makeda, (flourished 10th century BCE), according to Jewish and Islamic traditions, ruler of the kingdom of Sabaʾ (or Sheba) in southwestern Arabia. In the biblical account of the reign of King Solomon, she visited his court at the head of a camel caravan bearing gold, jewels, and spices. The story provides evidence for the existence of important commercial relations between ancient Israel and southern Arabia. According to the Bible, the purpose of her visit was to test Solomon’s wisdom by asking him to solve a number of riddles.

The story of Bilqīs, as the Queen of Sheba is known in Islamic tradition, appears in the Qurʾān, though she is not mentioned by name, and her story has been embellished by Muslim commentators. The Arabs have also given Bilqīs a southern Arabian genealogy, and she is the subject of a widespread cycle of legends. According to one account, Solomon, having heard from a hoopoe, one of his birds, that Bilqīs and her kingdom worshipped the Sun, sent a letter asking her to worship God. She replied by sending gifts, but, when Solomon proved unreceptive to them, she came to his court herself. The king’s jinn, meanwhile, fearing that the king might be tempted into marrying Bilqīs, whispered to him that she had hairy legs and the hooves of an ass. Solomon, being curious about such a peculiar phenomenon, had a glass floor built before his throne so that Bilqīs, tricked into thinking it was water, raised her skirts to cross it and revealed that her legs were truly hairy. Solomon then ordered the jinn to create a depilatory for the queen. Tradition does not agree as to whether Solomon himself married Bilqīs or gave her in marriage to a Hamdānī tribesman. She did, however, become a believer.

The Queen of Sheba appears as a prominent figure in the Kebra Nagast (“Glory of King”), the Ethiopian national epic and foundation story. According to this tradition, the Queen of Sheba (called Makeda) visited Solomon’s court after hearing about his wisdom. She stayed and learned from him for six months. On the last night of her visit, he tricked her into his bed, and she became pregnant. She returned to her kingdom, where she bore Solomon a son, Menilek. Menilek I was made king by his father, thus founding the royal Solomonic dynasty of Ethiopia, which ruled until the deposition of Haile Selassie I in 1974.

The story of the Queen of Sheba also appears among the Persians (probably derived from Jewish tradition), where she is considered the daughter of a Chinese king and a peri (fairylike being of Persian mythology).
