  2. Exposition

What is the message in the Bible about the queen of Sheba?

1 Kings 10:1 (ESV)

1 Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to test him with hard questions.

The Bible gladly reports that people come out of the world to the light of God. That is the theme of this passage (see for this theme also 1 Kings 4:34 and 1 Kings 10:24; Isaiah 60:1–22 and Psalm 72:1–20). In the New Testament in Matthew 2:1–23 we find the story about the wise men who come to the Light to worship. Revelation 21:24 talks about kings bringing their glory into God’s city. This is the message of this text, and it is the joy of God’s heart.
