The Queen of Sheba, known as Makeda, was a beautiful and intelligent Ethiopian queen who went to Jerusalem by the command of God to hear the wisdom of Solomon. She held converse with the king, blessed him for his understanding, and wished she might serve as one of his handmaidens. She bore a son named Menyelek.

In the Kebra Nagast this Queen of the South sends her merchant Tamrin to trade with Solomon and later receives from him the country near Gaza. The Cave of Treasures records that the Queen of Sheba went to hold converse with Solomon.
