However, references to Sheba in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) would use a transliteration of the Hebrew name. Usage: Sheba is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to both a person and a region. It is most notably associated with the Queen of Sheba, who visited King Solomon, and with the descendants of Sheba, a son of Joktan and a grandson of Abraham through Keturah. Context: • Sheba as a Person: Sheba is mentioned as a descendant of Cush, the son of Ham, and as a son of Joktan, a descendant of Shem (Genesis 10:7, 10:28). Additionally, Sheba is listed as a son of Jokshan, who was a son of Abraham and Keturah (Genesis 25:3). These genealogies suggest that Sheba was a significant figure in the early post-Flood world, with descendants who played important roles in the development of ancient civilizations.
