Mr. Bruce has given us the history of her and her descendants from Abyssinian records; and Josephus says that Sheba was the ancient name of the city of Meroe - south of Egypt, and sometimes comprehended in Ethiopia
and that this princess came from thence. Those who think the princess came from Arabia, rely chiefly on the fact that gold, silver, spices, and precious stones, which were the presents she made to Solomon, are the natural products of that country; and that it may well be placed at the uttermost part of the earth, as it borders on the southern ocean, and formerly they knew no land beyond it.Reciprocal2 Chronicles 32:23 - presents; Song of Songs 4:14 - the chief; Isaiah 39:2 - precious things; Revelation 18:13 - cinnamon Verse 10brought gold2 Chronicles 8:18; 1 Kings 9:27, 9:28, 10:22 algum trees10:11, almug-treesReciprocal2 Chronicles 32:23 - presents; Job 22:24 - lay up; Proverbs 31:14 - General Verse 11terracesor, stairs, Heb. highwaysharps1 Kings 10:12; 1 Chronicles 23:5, 25:1; Psalm 92:1-3, 150:3-5; Revelation 5:8Reciprocal1 Kings 10:11 - almug; Ecclesiastes 2:8 - silver Verse 12all her desire1 Kings 10:13; Psalm 20:4; Ephesians 3:20

That it was name of a place in the East Indies, seems probable from the articles brought thence, and also from the ships sent thither being built at Ezion-geber, on the Red Sea; though Michaelis supposes that the fleet coasted along the shore of Africa, doubling the Cape of Good Hope, and came to Tartessus, in Spain, and thence back again the same way; that this accounts for their three years' voyage out and home; and that Spain and the coasts of Africa furnish all the commodities which they brought back.ivoryor, elephants' teethpeacocksTukkeeyim is rendered taysin in the Targum, ταωνων, in the Alexandrian manuscript of the LXX, and pavos, "peacocks," in the Vulgate; with which the Syriac, Arabic, and Rabbins agree.

"Moses," says Bp. Warburton, "had expressly prohibited the multiplying of horses - Deuteronomy 17:16
by which the future king was forbidden to establish a body of calvary, because this could not be effected without sending into Egypt, with which people God had forbidden any communication, as this would be dangerous to religion. When Solomon had violated this law, and multiplied horses to excess - 1 Kings 4:26
it was soon attended with those fatal consequences that the law foretold: for this wisest of kings having likewise, in violation of another law, married Pharaoh's daughter - the early fruits of this commerce
and then, by a repetition of the same crime, but a transgression of another law, had espoused more strange women - 4:26; 11:1
they first,in defiance of a fourth law, persuaded him to build them idol temples for their use; and afterwards, against a fifth law, brought him to erect other temples for his own." 2 Chronicles 9:25, 1:16; 1 Kings 10:28; Isaiah 2:7, 2:8, 31:1
