1 Kings 10:1 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
1 Kings 9:28      1 Kings 10:2

First Kings 10:1

[This chapter is thematically linked in chiastic parallelism with 1 Kings 3:16–28, where two women come to Solomon and he judges with wisdom.]
When the queen of Sheba (Hebr. Sheva) heard the rumors about Solomon and the name of the Lord [the connection between his glory and his relationship with God, his moral and spiritual wisdom], she came to test him with difficult questions (proverbs, problems).
[Sheba was probably located in southern Arabia and was a large kingdom that may have stretched across the Red Sea all the way to Ethiopia. The distance to Israel through desert and mountainous terrain is over 2,000 kilometers.]
