And so, the Queen of Sheba's procession[sr]fought off the guardian spirits...
[k]

＠Mash (Narrator)
...and successfully made their way into Jerusalem.
[k]

[charaFace C 0]

＠Mash (Narrator)
Soon, the king learned that a foreign queen had entered the holy city, and the front gates were finally opened.
[k]

＠Mash (Narrator)
Thus did the parade of camels and ostentatiously dressed attendants make their way through Jerusalem.
[k]

[charaFace C 1]

＠Mash (Narrator)
Though the people of Jerusalem were accustomed to luxury, the riches that the queen presented to the king must surely have made even their eyes pop.
[k]

＠Mash (Narrator)
The lavish spices they brought with them also proved to be incredibly popular, and soon the holy city was filled with their scents.
[k]

[charaFace C 0]

＠Mash (Narrator)
Shortly thereafter, the queen was officially invited to the palace, and at long last granted an audience with King Solomon himself...

＠Solomon
I have spoken to merchants and travelers[sr]about them, interested to know more.

＠Solomon
They told me of a queen from a desert kingdom in the south with a sure eye, and a nose for trade.

Until last night, my image of that queen[sr]was hazy and blurred, like a mirage...

＠Mash (Narrator)
The two rulers proceeded to walk around Jerusalem's palace, chatting happily all the while.
[k]

＠Mash (Narrator)
Every one of the dances performed, the harp songs played, and the dishes served was truly exquisite.
[k]

[charaFace C 7]

＠Mash (Narrator)
But the place that the Queen of Sheba was most impressed with was indeed the very building the good shepherd had told her about.
[k]

＠Mash (Narrator)
The magnificent temple of Jerusalem stood[sr]even taller than the king's own palace.
[k]

[charaFace C 8]

＠Mash (Narrator)
Atop its great altar,[sr]burnt offerings were made to God...
[k]

[charaFace C 7]

＠Mash (Narrator)
There, sacrificial animals and other splendid[sr]offerings were consumed by sacred fire.
[k]

＠Mash (Narrator)
Once these offerings were chosen to become God's food, the frankincense, which would later be chosen as one of the three wise men's gifts, was burned like firewood.
[k]

[charaFace C 0]

＠Mash (Narrator)
While bearing witness to these amazing spectacles...
[k]

＠Mash (Narrator)
The queen casually posed King[sr]Solomon a series of questions.
[k]

[charaFace C 8]

＠Mash (Narrator)
Indeed, these very questions were the queen's purpose in venturing to Jerusalem.
[k]

＠Mash (Narrator)
A quest begun in the hope of appraising the king's wisdom, distinguishing his worth...and gaining a true answer to questions she had long pondered.
[k]

＠Mash (Narrator)
Some scholars say the queen had only two questions, while others claim she had as many as nineteen.
[k]

[charaFace C 0]

＠Mash (Narrator)
Whatever their number, King Solomon answered each[sr]in turn, and the queen marveled at his wisdom.
[k]

[charaFace C 7]

＠Mash (Narrator)
And in that moment...
[k]

＠Mash (Narrator)
...she decided to entrust King Solomon with the three most precious riddles she carried deep in her heart.
[k]

＠Mash (Narrator)
Solomon, in turn, honored his noble guest by having his many retainers line up along both sides of his throne.
[k]

＠Mash (Narrator)
So began a battle of wits to test the merits of both rulers. There could be no room for failure. As silence hung in the throne room, the audience watched with bated breath...
