When the queen of Sheba heard - As our Lord calls her queen of the south, (Matthew 12:42), it is likely the name should be written Saba, Azab, or Azaba, all of which signify the south. She is called Balkis by the Arabians, but by the Abyssinians Maqueda. See the account at the end of this chapter, I Kings 10:29 (note).
With hard questions - bechidoth ; Septuagint, , riddles. With parables and riddles, says the Arabic.
