She was Ethiopian Queen, also called "Makeda" the 24th queen of Saba family. She rigned not exactly at the present Ethiopian boundary, but includes the nile vally part and her seat was at "Meroe" earler called saba, located at northern Sudan. Ethiopians are partly her descendans, while the other half is "King Solomon". The tradition/tale of her history went further to Yemen after the famous King "Ezana" concurred Yemen around 6 A.D. The Yemeni inherited the tale of Kings from Ethiopia as preched by Ezana, but it is fact that they are also genetically Ethiopian.

AnswerThere is nothing in The Bible to link the Queen of Sheba to Ethiopia, and after all she was called Queen of Sheba, not Queen of Ethiopia. Furthermore, scholars do not believe there really was a Queen of Sheba at all.

The link between the Queen of Sheba and Ethiopia appears to date from around 1270 CE, long after the time of King Solomon. When the Ethiopian Zagwe dynasty was overthrown , the new dynasty was anxious to stress its legitimacy. In the Kebra Negast (The Glory of the Kings), they emphasised the descent of the kings from King Solomon, with the legend of Sheba returning to her Ethiopian realm pregnant with Solomon's son, Menelik I.

Where is Sheba?

A:No one knows where the nation of Sheba was, or even if it really existed. The only independent mention of it is in the Old testament Book of Kings, which refers to a Queen of Sheba visiting the fabulously wealthy King Solomon in Jerusalem. However, this appears to be a legendary account intended to demonstrate the importance of an ancient king, rather than a historical record. Christian and Islamic sources speak of Sheba, but appear dependent on the original Judaic account. The former imperial family of Ethiopia claims to be descended from the offspring of the Queen of Sheba by King Solomon, on the basis that Sheba was the ancient name of Ethiopia. Once again, this claim is more likely to be based on puffery than fact.

Who is the queen of Sheba the Bible talks about?

Quote from Wikipedia: "The Queen of Sheba (Hebrew מלכת שבא Malkat Shva, Arabic ملكة سبأ Malikat ʾ, Ge'ez: ንግሥተ ሳባ Nigista Saba), referred to in the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, the Qur'an, and Ethiopian history, was the ruler of the ancient kingdom of Sheba. The actual location of the historical kingdom may have included both Ethiopia and Yemen." This question originally asked about a "queen of Shiva." Shiva is a Hindu god, not related in any way to the queen of Sheba. Sheba was a place, where the queen of Sheba came from. She is mentioned in 1 Kings chapter 10 and 2 Chronicles chapter 9.


Was Sheba in Ethiopia?

The Bible doesn't say. Tradition claims that Ethiopia was part of Sheba (home of the Sabeans), but Biblical Ethiopia was primarily found in present-day Sudan, whereas some scholars feel that Sheba was located in southwest Arabia, most likely in modern-day eastern Yemen.
