Bible Note: You may be mixing up Solomon with the Queen of Sheba who came to visit King Solomon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheba, “[Sheba] is disputed between southern Arabia and the Horn of Africa; the kingdom may have been situated in either present-day Ethiopia or present-day Yemen, or both.” If in Africa the Queen of Sheba would most likely have been chocolate brown to black. We don't know what color any of the Kings of Israel/Judah were, but the Jews were 400 years removed from a 430 year stay in Egypt, which is in Africa. It is highly improbable that Solomon (950 BC) was dark but not impossible as Jewish people after the Diaspora (70 AD) are albino to black. |
