Who was the original Queen of Sheba?

Answer 1

Not a allusion then a direct statement:

1 Kings 10King James Version (KJV)

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.

Answer 2

AnswerIn the Old Testament, the Queen of Sheba was a fabulously wealthy queen who visited King Solomon, an equally wealthy king who ruled over Israel in the tenth century BCE. Scholars have been unable to find the kingdom of Sheba, although a tradition places it in Ethiopia, and do not know who the queen was.

Archaeologists say that Solomon, if indeed he existed, could not have been so wealthy because tenth-century-BCE Israel was not the great empire described in The Bible but a still sparsely populated and relatively poor rural backwater. This does not prove or disprove the existence of Solomon, but tells us more about who he was than can be found in the Bible's Book of Kings.

Answer 3

Answer 1: She isn't mentioned in the Song of Songs.

One of the most distinguished visitors that came from a foreign land to view the glory and riches of Solomon was the queen of Sheba. Solomon's fame had reached "all the people of the earth" so that she made the trip from her faraway domain "to test him with perplexing questions." She spoke to him "all that happened to be close to her heart," and "there proved to be no matter hidden from the king that he did not tell her."-1Ki 10:1-3, 24; 2Ch 9:1, 2.

After the queen also observed the splendor of the temple and of Solomon's house, his table and drinking service along with the attire of his waiters, and the regular burnt sacrifices at the temple, "there proved to be no more spirit in her," so she exclaimed, "Look! I had not been told the half. You have surpassed in wisdom and prosperity the things heard to which I listened." Then she proceeded to pronounce happy the servants who served such a king. By all this she was led to give praise to Jehovah, to bless Jehovah God, who expressed his love to Israel by appointing Solomon as king to render judicial decision and righteousness.-1Ki 10:4-9; 2Ch 9:3-8.

Then she bestowed upon Solomon the magnificent gift of 120 talents of gold ($46,242,000) and a great number of precious stones and balsam oil in unusually great quantity. Solomon, in turn, gave the queen whatever she asked, apart from his own generous-hearted bounty, possibly more than she had brought to him.-1Ki 10:10, 13; 2Ch 9:9, 12.

Answer 2: The Queen of Sheba was the author of Song of Songs, one of King Solomon's wives, and founder of the ancient royal dynasty of Ethiopia. She was the leader of the Kingdom of Sheba that flourished in the 10th century BCE, which is located predominately in modern day Ethiopia. Her name was Menelik, and she gave birth to at least one child by King Solomon's seed according to ancient texts from various sources such as the Abyssinians, historian Josephus, the order of the Freemasons, etcetera. While there is much confusion on the part of the Catholic Church, such confusion stems from the period known as the Middle Ages, wherein it was illegal for commoners to read from the bible and women were viewed as property, thereby making it easier to edit and conceal various portions of what would later be printed as the King James Bible (circa 1611CE). It is very likely that the Song of Songs was assimilated into what would later be called the 'Bible,' because the child of King Solomon and Menelik was an ancestor of Jesus Christ. It is also important to note that this is not taught by the Catholic Church for many political and strategic military reasons, such as their earlier stance on supporting the slavery of the people from Ophir (Africa). For instance, Catholics and Protestants once taught their followers that being black was the mark of Cain, and some of them still do- usually behind closed doors. To circumnavigate this little glitch, they currently teach their followers that the Song of Songs (the Song of Solomon) was written by King Solomon himself and that he is praying to his heir, Jesus, many millennia prior to the birth of Jesus with extreme gayety. Nonetheless, Solomon would never have used the romantic phrases and praises toward another male as it is a sin in Judaism to do so according to Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13. For one man to wrap another man's head "betwixt" his breasts in such a romantic manner as suggested by the Catholic interpretation of Song of Solomon is a sin punishable by death. Therefore, do not heed the words of organizations with such mounting criminal allegations until you have read the book for yourself.

Praise Menelik.
