(I Kings 10: l/II Chron. 9:1) -- This study treats the Queen of Shebas visit to King Solomons court. To be more precise, it asks how and why the historic event, a diplomatic mission recorded by the biblical chronicler, was reshaped by later Jewish and Muslim writers to accommodate contemporary values and newly defined concerns. By the Middle Ages, the main focus of the queens visit had shifted from international to sexual politics and from diplomatic relations to the more complicated relations between men and women. That is, in its postbiblical and Islamic versions, the queens joust with Solomon was portrayed as a dangerous attempt to subvert time-honored rules of gender. -- For writers agitated by thoughts of an empowered distaff side, the queens coldness in confronting the great Solomon had wide ramifications. At the least, her presumption in testing the hegemony of men was viewed as a challenge to orderly society. Were, however, that challenge not enough to cause anxiety. Jewish and Muslim writers provoked their audiences with more ominous noughts. Combining arcane scholarship and a playful literary imagination, they transmuted the historic Queen of Sheba, a clever and politically astute sovereign, into a demonic force seeking to dissolve all boundaries of gender. In doing that, they linked the queens striving for political power with the wholesale dissolution of sexually differentiated tasks. Seen in that light, her contest with the great Solomon was not a matter of redefining roles so as to allow women an honored place in the political arena. There was the danger that given political parity, if not advantage, she would tamper with the very essence f Gods design. Any such attempt to alter natures equilibrium was perceived as an obvious threat to all of humankind because, once liberated from their natural function, women may well decide against child rearing and even reproduction. Hence, the queens brazen disregard for the roles that God assigned women resonated to concerns openly shared by all who had a stake in the continuity of the human species.
