Bible Question: Kindly give me the meaning of Sheba. Is Sheba a place or a name of a person; whatsoever it might be what is the meaning of Sheba I King 10 vs 1 |
Bible Answer: The word means seven or oath. From Easton's Dictionary on Sheba found in 1 Kings 10:1 (4.) Heb id. A kingdom in Arabia Felix. Sheba, in fact, was Saba in Southern Arabia, the Sabaeans of classical geography, who carried on the trade in spices with the other peoples of the ancient world. They were Semites, speaking one of the two main dialects of Himyaritic or South Arabic. Sheba had become a monarchy before the days of Solomon. Its queen brought him gold, spices, and precious stones (1Ki 10:1-13). She is called by our Lord the "queen of the south" (Mt 12:42). Praise the Lord! Norm |
