The story of the Queen of Sheba according to the Bible and other evidence of worship,
According to the Bible , the unnamed queen of the land of Sheba heard of the great wisdom of the king of Israel, Solomon , and put on his journey to earth, bringing with them gifts such as spices , gold and precious stones . The queen was struck by the wisdom and wealth of Solomon and spoke a prayer to the God of Solomon , who returned with many gifts and " everything he wanted " until the queen is not returned in his kingdom. The queen gave 4.5 tons of gold to the king of Israel .
Sheba reappears in Matthew 12:42 ET Luke 11:31 , Jesus said that she and the people of Nineveh , the Day of Judgment will arise to condemn the Jews who rejected it , " because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon "
In the Song of Songs are a few references that have been interpreted as evidence of love between Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. In fact, in 1.5 the girl said : "I am black but beautiful " . [Evidence ?]
Hebrew legends back
The Jewish historian Josephus emphasizes his love for learning. Gives the name of Nikaule , assuming that there is a link with the Queen Nitocridescritta by Herodotus.
Other Jewish legends claim that the gift you promised Solomon ( what you want ) is actually a love story , and great efforts were made by the study of puzzles that the queen to the king proposes to test his wisdom.
The Qur'anic story
Even the Quran mentions the name of the Queen of Sheba, despite some Arab sources call Bilqis . The story is similar to that of the Bible. Change the starting point is that Solomon was aware of the kingdom of Saba because his people worshiped the Sun After threatening war, the king of Israel receives the Queen of Sheba in adoption of the Jewish religion.
Islamic legends report that her husband was Bilqis Yasser Yan'am and she was the sister of Shams , the Sun Their father was al- Hadhad , who had saved his mother, a " jinn ," a demon.
Recently, some Arab scholars have speculated that Saba is not in Yemen , according to some sources , but in the northwest of Saudi Arabia, in a commercial colony founded by the Arab kingdoms of the south. Archaeological excavations have confirmed the existence of these colonies , which had the same characteristics as the motherland, but it was not discovered something about Bilqis .
