She was the queen of Sheba, to whom Jesus now compares his audience in Matthew 12:42. She had made a journey from the far end of the world (at least the known world at the time) just to come to listen to the wisdom of Solomon (1 Kings 10:1–13). Sheba probably lay to the southwest of the Arabian peninsula (where Yemen is today).1
