“Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.” -1 Kings 10:7
 
The story behind this passage of the Bible takes us to a palace in Jerusalem. The two main characters of the story are the wise King Solomon and the other was a woman, the Queen of Sheba.  This beautiful wealthy and powerful lady ruled over a great land. She controlled millions of people from a great palace. But there were hard questions in her heart that wealth and power could not answer. The Queen of Sheba heard how famous Solomon was, so she went to Jerusalem to test him with difficult questions. She took along several of her officials, and she loaded her camels with gifts of spices, jewels, and gold. When she arrived, she and Solomon talked about everything she could think of. He answered every question, no matter how difficult it was. The Queen was amazed at Solomon’s wisdom. She was breathless when she saw his palace, the food on his table, his officials, his servants in their uniforms, the people who served his food, and the sacrifices he offered at the LORD’s temple. We do not know all the questions she asked but we do know she said with joy THE HALF WAS NOT TOLD ME. Most importantly she learned about Solomon’s God.
