The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, etc.—The queen of Sheba (a tract in Arabia, near the shores of the Red Sea) came from a remote country, "south" of Judea, to hear the wisdom of a mere man, though a gifted one, and was transported with wonder at what she saw and heard (I Kings 10:1-9). They, when a Greater than Solomon had come to them, despised and rejected, slighted and slandered Him.
