The queen of Sheba ... lives on now, nearly thirty centuries since her visit [to Solomon in Israel], as a woman whose spirit of adventure and whose resourcefulness, courage, and curiosity have not bee surpassed by any queen in history. And certainly her sense of good public and international relations is unparalleled among women of the Bible.

This is usually followed by the phrase, 'And he did that which was good in the sight of the Lord,' or 'And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.'
