Did king Solomon and the queen of sheba have a child?

Answer 1

Well, honey, The Bible doesn't specifically mention King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba having a child together. So, unless there's a secret chapter hidden somewhere that I don't know about, it's safe to say that there's no record of them popping out a royal baby.

Answer 2

There is no historical or biblical evidence to suggest that King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba had a child together. The story of their meeting is found in the Hebrew Bible and the Quran, where it is described as a meeting of two powerful rulers. The Queen of Sheba is said to have visited Solomon to test his wisdom, and their encounter is often interpreted as a symbol of the exchange of knowledge and wealth between their two kingdoms.

Answer 3

Oh, what a beautiful question! While there are many stories and legends about King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, there is no definitive historical evidence that they had a child together. It's like painting a peaceful landscape - sometimes the details are left to the imagination, allowing us to appreciate the mystery and wonder of the story.

Answer 4

Solomon ws the king under whose reign Israel reached its greatest fame and prosperity. He was the son of David and Bathsheba.

Solomon was renowned for his proverbial wisdom, and it was this renown that brought his most famous visitor, the Queen of Sheba.

In spite of his wisdom, Solomon had, according to the Bible, a thousand wives and concubines. He made the grave mistake of allowing these wives to bring with them their false gods and to erect temples for them, eventually leading to a deadly influence on the Israelites.

Whether or not he had any offspring by the Queen of Sheba is not mentioned in the Bible. The question is open only to speculation.

While it's true that the "authorized bible" doesn't state clearly that they had a child, the wording in the bible could easily be interpreted as stating that they did at least have some sexual union together. That some choose not to interpret it that way is simply a matter of personal preference. Some people don't seem to want this to be true. It's really hard to say based on the "authorized bible" alone. However, there are accounts by the historian Josephus that claim that the Queen of Sheba gave birth to a child while on her return trip to the land of Saba, implying that it was Solomon's child. Also, the Freemason's claim to have ancient texts stating that Solomon and the queen of Sheba did have a son named Menelik. There are, as well, ancient Abyssinian texts that state that Solomon and Makeda, the queen of Saba (Sheba) were married and had a son named Menyelak, which means child of the wise man. Some historians do argue over these texts, but there are plenty of respected historians who accept these texts as authentic, although they add that the claim of marriage is likely an attempt to maintain the queens honor. While I wouldn't want to argue the point in a court of law, it seems there are more reasons to believe they did have a child together than not to believe it. Again, some people just don't want this to be true. Who knows?

Answer 6

Lester L. Grabbe (Ancient Israel: What Do We Know and How Do We Know It?) says that the story of the Queen of Sheba was not in the original text of Kings, as written by the Deuteronomist in the seventh century BCE. He says it was added much later by the Redactor and has no support in the sources. The Queen of Sheba did not really exist and so did not have a child by Solomon.

Answer 7

There is no historical evidence to support the claim that King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba had a child together. The story of their encounter is often regarded as a myth or legend rather than a fact.
