Immortal Wisdom: Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for the king to explain to her
The Bible explains to us in its sapiential books, that wisdom is immortal and that glory belongs to the wise, an example of this is the narration of the meeting of King Solomon with the Queen of Sheba:
"When the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon and his relationship to the LORD, she came to test Solomon with hard questions. Arriving at Jerusalem with a very great caravan—with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones—she came to Solomon and talked with him about all that she had on her mind.
Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for the king to explain to her. When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon and the palace he had built, the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes, his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he made at the temple of the LORD, she was overwhelmed.", 1 Kings 10:1-5.
This Queen who visits Solomon comes from a foreign kingdom, the Kingdom of the Sabeans, motivated by a great curiosity, this queen very probably wanted to access to some mystical power, of which the ancient sages are famous.
To the sage corresponds the understanding of all the mysteries, that is why the King Solomon answers all the enigmas and questions of the Queen: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.", Jeremiah 33:3.
The Queen then blesses the King and God for all the wonders she saw:
"She said to the king, ´The report I heard in my own country about your achievements and your wisdom is true. But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told me; in wisdom and wealth you have far exceeded the report I heard. How happy your people must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom! Praise be to the LORD your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on the throne of Israel. Because of the LORD's eternal love for Israel, he has made you king to maintain justice and righteousness." 1 Kings 10:6-9
Finally gifts are exchanged and they say goodbye:
"And she gave the king 120 talents of gold, large quantities of spices, and precious stones. Never again were so many spices brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired and asked for, besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. Then she left and returned with her retinue to her own country." 1 Kings 10:11-13.
