• Read the biblical scene and explain the diplomatic context.

• Survey historical possibilities: Saba in southern Arabia (Yemen) vs. Ethiopian Sheba, with archaeological context from Marib.

• Unpack later traditions (the Ethiopian Kebra Nagast) and show why tradition matters culturally even when it’s not a primary source.

• Assess the archaeology and scholarly debates about trade, wealth, and Solomon’s fame.

• Give practical leadership lessons and a 7-day challenge you apply in your life.
