Bible Question:
I recently saw a secular program which was an archeological search for the Ark. King Solomon was discussed and a visit to him by the Queen of Sheba. The host claimed that King Solomon fathered a child with the Queen of Sheba. I could not find this in the scripture and I wanted to know if there is any truth in this. Please advise. Thank you. |
Bible Answer: Good question. I saw the same show and just took for granted they had a son -- my bad. I just did a bunch of searching and could not find anything stating that they had a son. The closest I found that could be remotely interpreted that way was 2 Chronicles 9:12 "King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired and asked for; he gave her more than she had brought to him." although I don't think I would interpret it that way. The host may have researched documents about the Queen of Sheba which may have implied that. I don't know. I just did a search at www.google.com on "queen of sheba" solomon son and found many sites that talk about their son. Whether it's true or not is for you to decide. Good luck. |
