Chapter 10

The Queen of Sheba comes to test Solomon with tough questions.  She may have searched out unknowable questions, methods, and so on.  These seem to have been questions of fact and science more than questions of discernment and wisdom.  But I may be reading it wrong. 

vs 5...There was no more spirit in her.  Means what she saw and heard left her breathless.  She was beyond impressed.  Among other things, she gave him an abundance of spices.  And almug wood from which Solomon made steps and musical instruments.  Possibly sandalwood, black outside, red inside.

Solomon received 666 talents of gold per year, plus miscellaneous gold from caravans passing through and such.  Hmm...will antichrist receive the same when he is in power?  Is that the number?  Solomon is a very wealthy and wise King, beyond anything on earth at the time.
