Old Testament
Sheba
A name shared by several descendants of Ham and Shem, representing prominent nations and regions in antiquity.
The name Sheba refers to multiple figures in the genealogies of Genesis, most notably the son of Raamah and the son of Joktan. Biblically, Sheba represents a wealthy region, likely in Southern Arabia, famous for gold, incense, and trade. The Queen of Sheba’s visit to Solomon highlights the nation's prominence, while prophetic texts frequently associate the name with international commerce and distant lands.
