Summary for 2Chr 9:1-2: 9:1-2  a Although Solomon had long-term economic and political ties with Hiram of Tyre (8:17-18  b; 9:10-11  c), the queen of Sheba visited just once. Ancient Sheba (roughly modern Yemen) was noted for its important female rulers and for a wealthy economy based on trade in frankincense and myrrh. An ancient tradition suggests that the queen of Sheba came from Cush (Ethiopia), perhaps because of Sheba son of Raamah, a descendant of Cush (Gen 10:7  d; 1 Chr 1:9  e).
