History's Greatest Heroines The queen o f Sheba is one o f history’ s greatest heroines, and the story o f her visit to King Solomon is well known. Queen Sheba was actually Queen Makeda who ruled Ethiopia from a district named Azab or Asabe or Saba. Queen Makeda ascended the throne in about 1005 BC on the death o f her father, King Kawnasya. She was very rich; her caravans trafficked by sea and land to far places. On the occasion o f her visit to Jerusalem, Queen Makeda was welcomed cordially by Solomon, who housed her in his palace. Queen Makeda spent several months on intense study in Jerusalem; Solomon was her constant companion. A fte r she returned to her Kingdom, Queen Makeda totally accepted the religion o f Israel. To help her extend its growth Solomon told each o f his counselors to send his eldest son to Ethiopia to work among the people. Albertsons ^Copyright IM O by Albertson's, Inc.
