The fame of King Solomon's magnificence and wisdom was carried to distant lands. Princes came from afar to listen to his sayings and to see the grandeur of his court. His great ivory throne, overlaid with pure gold, figured largely in Oriental tradition. Of all his visitors the Queen of Sheba (the Sabaeans, a people of South Arabia) made the deepest impression.
