1 Kings 10:10 records that the following gifts were given to Solomon from the Queen:

And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

What country is the ark in?

This depends on which ark you mean; Noah's Ark or the Ark of the Covenant. For Noah's ark, I suggest you look at the answer to "Where did Noah's Ark land?" which describes the various proposed locations. For the Ark of the Covenant, a case has been made that it's in a church in Axum, Ethiopia - taken there by King Solomon's and the Queen of Sheba's son. There is a ancient book (Kebra Nagast) claiming that Solomon made a copy for his son to take to Ethiopia, but that the copy was switched for the original. With a skeptical eye, one might ask why having tricked a king out of his most treasured possession it would be a good idea to have the plot published in book form. In any case, no-one is permitted to even look at the Ark in Axum, so it's unlikely to be examined any time soon! Apart from the Ethiopian claim, cases have also been made for Zimbabwe, Qumran, Jerusalem (the Biblical resting place for the ark), Languedoc (in France), Warwickshire (in England) and Tara (in Ireland).


Why did Adonijah ask to marry Abishag?

Some have proposed that Abishag is the Shulammite in The Song of Solomon. If that is true, then Solomon himself wanted her as a part of his inheritance from David, as well as her recorded desirable beauty and chastity. We know both ladies were a part of Solomon's court and if she was the one Solomon desired for himself, the motive for Adonijah would be more than mere natural beauty, but have personal and political implications. This would also explain Solomon's extreme reaction of executing Adonijah. See http://www.scripturewise.com/story.htm#STORY for a more detailed scenario.

What do the two pillars in Solomons temple represent?

The very meaning of the pillar itself goes back to ancient Egypt and symbolizes stability and is used in reference to society as well as architecture. Even deeper into the meaning it symbolizes re-erection or resurrection.Solomon himself named the pillars Jachin (established Rule) & Boaz (strength) but I believe it was a subconscious vision.When God asked Solomon what he wanted rather than ask for wealth or power he asked for wisdom of Right & Wrong. I believe his own heart was the key and the reason his rule lasted so long as to say he was chosen to rule by God decided by the will of his own hand.The very meaning is debatable I would thing one is a symbol of Ruing Justly and is the main pillar that holds up society today and I suspect the other is the simple knowledge and wisdom.
