1 Kings A ROYAL SEEKER AFTER WISDOM 1Ki_10:1 - 1Ki_10:13 . We feel the breath of a new era in the accounts of Solomon’s reign. One most striking peculiarity is the friendly intercourse with the nations around. The horizon has widened, and, instead of wars with Philistines and Ammon, we have alliances with Egypt, Tyre, and, in the present passage, with Sheba, a district of Southern Arabia. The expansion was fruitful of both good and evil. It brought new ideas and much wealth; but it brought,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Kings 10:1-13

“The Half Was not Told Me” 1 Kings 10:1-13 Sheba, to the Jewish mind, was at the ends of the earth, Matthew 12:42 . It probably lay in southern Arabia, fifteen hundred miles from Jerusalem. The queen brought munificent presents of spices, gold, precious stones, and sweet-scented wood. The last-named Solomon used for musical instruments and for stairs in his Temple and palace, 2 Chronicles 9:11 . But the queen’s heart was set on plying him with hard questions, for which she had sought in vain... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 10:1-29

The Queen of Sheba's visit to Solomon shows how far his fame was spread abroad. Moreover, reports had coupled Solomon's wisdom and greatness with the name of Jehovah. The Queen of Sheba saw what the government of God really meant. Arriving as she did at the time of the nation's peace and prosperity, she was constrained to speak of Solomon's greatness as exceeding all reports of the prosperity of his kingdom and the happiness of his subjects. But through all this she clearly saw that... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Kings 10:1-13

The Queen of the South 1 Kings 10:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS A greater than Solomon is here. In Matthew 11:1-30 Christ is upbraiding the cities wherein most of His mighty works were done. Under His ban were Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum. This upbraiding is concluded in chapter 12, where Christ condemns the whole generation of Jews telling them that Nineveh believed Jonah, and that a greater than Jonah was there. Then He says (Matthew 12:42 ): "The queen of the south shall rise up in the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 10:1-29

1 Kings 10. Visit of the Queen of Sheba.— By Sheba or Saba a district in S. Arabia is meant. The Sabæ ans were known to the Israelites as exporters of gold ( Isaiah 60:6, Psalms 72:15); Ezekiel ( Ezekiel 27:23) says that they dealt extensively with Tyre. In Job ( Job 1:15, Job 6:19), they are represented as marauders. The civilisation of Arabia was considerable, and much light has been thrown on it by scholars like Hommel and Glaser. Our Lord calls the queen of Sheba the “ queen of the south”... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Kings 10:1-13

THE QUEEN OF SHEBA AND SOLOMONCRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 10:1. Queen of Sheba—The Arabs and Abyssinians both claim this queen, and surround this historic visit with rival legends (comp. Stanley’s Jewish Church, pp. 259–262). The former name her Balkis; the latter, Maqueda. But the country here denoted is שְׁבָא in Arabia Felix, Saba, the capital of the Sabean kingdom of Yemen, and not סְבָא (with which Josephus confounds it)—i.e., Meroë in African Ethiopia, viz., Abyssinia. Fame of... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 10:1-8

1 Kings 10:1-8 The world and the Church together are foreshown by this queen; all to whom ever the word, sight, name of Christ come within ken are warned by her example; while the king whose wisdom awoke such a rapturous feeling is the pale shadow of the wisdom which Christ among us is ever uttering. I. The principle which makes this Oriental visit of barbaric splendour worth a Christian study is this, that the queen recognised the existence of a higher wisdom than filled as yet her daily life,... read more
