“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.... [W]hen she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart. So Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing so difficult for the king that he could not explain it to her.... Then she said to the king: ‘It

was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom. However I did not believe the words until I came and saw with my own eyes; and indeed the half was not told me.... Because the LORD has loved Israel forever, therefore He made you king, to do justice and

righteousness’” (1 Kings 10:1-9).

“For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart

of his father David. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. Solomon

did evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not fully follow the LORD, as did his father David. Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination

of Moab, on the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomina-tion of the people of Ammon. And he did likewise for all his foreign wives,

who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods” (1 Kings 11:4-8).
