. Sheba (from the English transcription of the Hebrew name שבא sh'va and Saba, Arabic: سبأ, also Saba, Amharic: , Tigrinya: was a southern kingdom mentioned in the Jewish scriptures (Old Testament) and the Qur'an. The actual location of the historical kingdom is disputed between southern Arabia and eastern Africa; the kingdom may have been situated in either present-day Ethiopia or present-day Yemen.
Biblical claims and controversy
The nation makes its first appearance in world literature with the mention of the Queen of Sheba (named Makeda in Ethiopian tradition and Bilqis in Islamic tradition), who travels to Jerusalem to behold the fame of King Solomon (1 Kings 10). The location of Sheba has thus become closely linked with national prestige, as various royal houses have claimed descent from the Queen of Sheba and Solomon. Sheba is also mentioned in other biblical texts. For instance, in the Old Testament genealogy of the nations Genesis 10:7, Sheba, along with Dedan, is listed as one of the descendants of Noah's son Ham (as son of Raamah, son of Cush, son of Ham). In Genesis 25:3, Sheba and Dedan are listed as sons of Jokshan. Another Sheba is listed in the genealogy appearing in Genesis 10:28 as a descendant of Noah's son Shem: that is, as a Semite (this genealogy lists Sheba as a son of Joktan, son of Eber, son of Shelah, son of Arphaxad, sonÉ of Shem.) It is unclear which Sheba, if either, is the ancestor of this civilization.
Long the most vigorous claimant has been Ethiopia and Eritrea, where Sheba was traditionally linked with the ancient Axumite Kingdom.
