What Does 1 Kings 10:13 Mean?
The visit ends in generosity. Solomon gives the queen all her desire, whatever she asked, and over and above that, gifts from his royal bounty. She came to test and to give, and she leaves enriched beyond her requests. Then she turns and goes home with her servants, carrying Israel's wisdom and Israel's God into her own land.
The king gives more than is asked, a faint reflection of the King who delights to exceed our requests. She returns to her country not empty but laden, a Gentile witness sent home bearing the riches of God's wisdom. So the truth that begins in one place is carried outward to the ends of the earth.
