Strong's Lexicon Sheba: Sheba Original Word: שְׁבָא Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁבַע (shava), meaning "to swear" or "to take an oath." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Sheba in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew culture and geography. Usage: In the Bible, "Sheba" refers to both a person and a place. As a person, Sheba is a descendant of Cush, the son of Ham, and a grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:7). As a place, Sheba is a kingdom known for its wealth and trade, particularly in spices, gold, and precious stones. The Queen of Sheba's visit to King Solomon is one of the most notable biblical narratives involving Sheba (1 Kings 10:1-13). Cultural and Historical Background: The kingdom of Sheba is traditionally associated with the region of modern-day Yemen in the southern Arabian Peninsula. It was a wealthy and influential trading nation, known for its caravans that transported goods across the Arabian Desert. The Queen of Sheba's visit to Solomon highlights the interconnectedness of ancient Near Eastern cultures and the exchange of wisdom and wealth.
