The Bible doesn't say.

Tradition claims that Ethiopia was part of Sheba (home of the Sabeans), but Biblical Ethiopia was primarily found in present-day Sudan, whereas some scholars feel that Sheba was located in southwest Arabia, most likely in modern-day eastern Yemen.

Where in today's world did Queen of Sheba live?

It is questionable where the Queen of the Kingdom of Sheba lived. Our best guess is that she lived in Ethiopia or Yemen.


What country is Sheba now called?

The kingdom of Sheba was known as Saba, and the people were known as Sabaeans. The kingdom was located in modern-day Yemen, with their capital in Ma'rib, central Yemen. Some argue that Sheba was in Abyssinia, modern-day Ethiopia, but Archaeological evidence now points to Yemen. However, the kingdom did have control over Eritrea and Northeastern Ethiopia and the geography there is very similar to the one of Yemen.

Where is Sheba?

A:No one knows where the nation of Sheba was, or even if it really existed. The only independent mention of it is in the Old testament Book of Kings, which refers to a Queen of Sheba visiting the fabulously wealthy King Solomon in Jerusalem. However, this appears to be a legendary account intended to demonstrate the importance of an ancient king, rather than a historical record. Christian and Islamic sources speak of Sheba, but appear dependent on the original Judaic account. The former imperial family of Ethiopia claims to be descended from the offspring of the Queen of Sheba by King Solomon, on the basis that Sheba was the ancient name of Ethiopia. Once again, this claim is more likely to be based on puffery than fact.

Who is the queen of Sheba the Bible talks about?

Quote from Wikipedia: "The Queen of Sheba (Hebrew מלכת שבא Malkat Shva, Arabic ملكة سبأ Malikat ʾ, Ge'ez: ንግሥተ ሳባ Nigista Saba), referred to in the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, the Qur'an, and Ethiopian history, was the ruler of the ancient kingdom of Sheba. The actual location of the historical kingdom may have included both Ethiopia and Yemen." This question originally asked about a "queen of Shiva." Shiva is a Hindu god, not related in any way to the queen of Sheba. Sheba was a place, where the queen of Sheba came from. She is mentioned in 1 Kings chapter 10 and 2 Chronicles chapter 9.
