The king of Tyre also was
dependent on the king of Israel; and the queen of Sheba
comes from the far south to delight herself in the wisdom
of the head of God's people, and to be filled with wonder
at the sight of his glory, and to praise Jehovah who had
raised him so high, and who had blessed the people in
giving him to be their king. She also came with gifts;
for the king's renown had spread into distant lands.
Nevertheless, although it was a true report that she had
heard, the sight of his glory went far beyond all that
had been said of it.
