Adonijah: You and your Sheban slut have defiled the fair name of Israel.
Pharaoh: And how will you destroy Solomon?
Sheba: It is said that Solomon is wise. But no matter how wise he may be, he is still human, with a human weakness.
Pharaoh: Surely the way of a woman is beyond understanding.

Solomon: Nothing must come between us.
Sheba: Not even our gods? I knew this moment would come, for the things we believe in are not the same.
Solomon: I had hoped that in time you would come to accept Jehovah.

Sheba: At the moment, my own land seems as distant as the stars.
Solomon: In my youth, I used to dream of visiting all the faraway kingdoms of the earth.

Solomon and Sheba Facts
Co-producer/star Tyrone Power had completed shooting more than half of the film when he collapsed during a duelling scene with George Sanders and died a few minutes later. Power was replaced in the role of Solomon by Yul Brynner, who refilmed all of Power's scenes. Power, however, is still visible in the film in long shots.
