📚 Historical Context
This verse comes from the famous visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon around 950 BC. She had traveled hundreds of miles (likely from modern-day Yemen or Ethiopia) because reports of Solomon's extraordinary wisdom and wealth had reached her distant kingdom. Ancient rulers often sent envoys or made diplomatic visits to assess potential allies or threats, but this queen came personally to test Solomon's reputation.
