列王纪上 10:2 CUNPSS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Kings 10:1-29

The Queen of Sheba 1Ki 10:1-9 THE queen of Sheba was an earnest inquirer. She was not content with the reports which she had heard in her own land; she bethought her that she would put to the test this man of marvellous wisdom, whose gifts of expression, both in speech and in song, were unrivalled. She thought she knew something which even he could not answer. She would have her own questions put in her own way. That is what every earnest inquirer must insist upon. No man can ask another... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Kings 10:2

(2) And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart. The state in which she came, if we consider the subject in a religious point of view, becomes no unapt representation of the soul's first approach to Jesus, before that God the Holy Ghost hath brought the sinner into a real acquaintance with his own heart. Oh! how apt are we to come to... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 10:1-13

1-13 The queen of Sheba came to Solomon to hear his wisdom, thereby to improve her own. Our Saviour mentions her inquiries after God, by Solomon, as showing the stupidity of those who inquire not after God, by our Lord Jesus Christ. By waiting and prayer, by diligently searching the Scriptures, by consulting wise and experienced Christians, and by practising what we have learned, we shall be delivered from difficulties. Solomon's wisdom made more impression upon the queen of Sheba than all his... read more

The Queen of Sheba at Solomon's Court v. 1. And when the queen of Sheba, a country in Arabia Felix, on the Red Sea, heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the Lord, because the Lord was glorified in him, she came to prove him with hard questions, to test his reputed wisdom with difficult problems. v. 2. And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with a very numerous retinue in men, with camels that bare spices, the most costly products of her country, and very much... read more

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

“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
