What does the Bible say about the Queen of Sheba?

Answered in 7 sources

The Queen of Sheba traveled a great distance to seek the wisdom of Solomon, and Jesus remarked that she would rise in judgment against those who fail to seek Him, the greater than Solomon.

The Bible recounts the story of the Queen of Sheba in 1 Kings 10 and 2 Chronicles 9, where she journeys from her distant land, presumably in modern-day Yemen, to Jerusalem to test Solomon's renowned wisdom. Jesus references her in Matthew 12:42, indicating her determination and zeal in seeking wisdom from Solomon compared to the indifference of His generation. This serves as both a historical account and an allegory for spiritual pursuit, demonstrating that true wisdom is found in Christ, who surpasses even the greatest of kings.
