Solomon’s fame concerning the name of Yahweh
(Some words not found in UHB: and,queen Sheⱱaˊ heard_of DOM fame Shəlomoh to,name YHWH and,came to,test,him in/on/at/with,hard_questions )
Here Yahweh is represented by his “name.” This could mean: (1) Alternate translation: “Solomon’s fame, which glorified Yahweh” or (2) Alternate translation: “Solomon’s fame, which Yahweh had given him”
10:1 The queen likely heard tales of Solomon’s wisdom and wealth because of his trading ventures to Ophir (10:11; see 9:26-28). Sheba, located in southwestern Arabia (modern Yemen), was a notably fertile commercial center. The trading enterprises of the ancient Sabeans encompassed great swaths of territory, including Syria, Africa, and India.
• test . . . with hard questions (literally riddles): Arabian literature is famous for its riddles and proverbs. The queen tested Solomon’s wisdom and explored perplexities of her own.
