The South most likely refers to modern southwest Arabia, possibly the eastern part of modern Yemen, although there is an ancient tradition reflected in Josephus which identifies this geo-political entity as Ethiopia.

something greater ▼▼ The message of Jesus was something greater than what Solomon offered. On Jesus and wisdom, see Luke 7:35; 10:21–22; 1 Cor 1:24, 30.
than Solomon is here!
