Chris.
The Queen of Sheba came with many gifts for Solomon.
There are several things that we learn here. She was such a wealthy queen that
her gifts were mere admiration and not sacrifice. Her gifts caused King Solomon
to carelessly and boastfully open up all he had to her. Solomon’s heart was
easily swayed by women. There are lessons to be learned here.
