When the queen of Sheba heard about Solomon, she came to challenge him with difficult questions.

When the queen of Sheba saw for herself Solomon’s extensive wisdom, the palace he had built,

King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba everything she requested, besides what he had freely offered her. Then she left and returned to her homeland with her attendants.

She gave the king 120 talents of gold, a very large quantity of spices, and precious gems. The quantity of spices the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon has never been matched.

Bathsheba replied, “That’s fine, I’ll speak to the king on your behalf.”

So Bathsheba visited the king in his private quarters. (The king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.)

Bathsheba bowed down on the floor before the king. The king said, “What do you want?”

King David responded, “Summon Bathsheba!” She came and stood before the king.

Bathsheba bowed down to the king with her face to the floor and said, “May my master, King David, live forever!”

Haggith’s son Adonijah visited Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother. She asked, “Do you come in peace?” He answered, “Yes.”

Nathan said to Bathsheba, Solomon’s mother, “Has it been reported to you that Haggith’s son Adonijah has become king behind our master David’s back?

So Bathsheba visited King Solomon to speak to him on Adonijah’s behalf. The king got up to greet her, bowed to her, and then sat on his throne. He ordered a throne to be brought for the king’s mother, and she sat at his right hand.
