[:en]When the Queen of Sheba heard of Solomon’s fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. She brought with her spices, gold and precious stones. Solomon was able to answer all her questions. When she saw the wisdom the wisdom of Solomon as well as the palace he had built, the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants and cupbearers in their robes, and the burnt offerings he made at the temple of the Lord, she was overwhelmed (vs. 2-4). She was convinced of his greatness and wisdom. King Solomon gave her more than she had brought to him when she returned to her country. King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth. He reigned in Jerusalem for 40 years and rested with his father and buried in the city of David.[:]
