Two figures named Sheba appear in the Old Testament. The Queen of Sheba traveled a great distance, likely from southern Arabia, to test Solomon's famous wisdom with hard questions, and left declaring the reports she had heard didn't do him justice. A different Sheba, a Benjamite, led a short-lived rebellion against David shortly after Absalom's revolt was crushed.
