Abishag: How interesting your encampment is. Are your people always so carefree and gay?
Sheba: We enjoy life and pleasure. Don't you?
Abishag: Oh yes, we do. But we are... an austere people. We tend to be more serious.
Sheba: And you king... is he also serious?
Abishag: King Solomon has a great responsibility.

Solomon: From the first, I knew that behind those lovely eyes is the brain of a very clever woman, who could never have traveled eight hundred leagues without a purpose.
Sheba: You have found me out. How could I hope to deceive you? I have been trying to entrap you, with these (shakes arms), to bind you with soft chains, so that I may do with you as I will.
Solomon: Every woman demands a price from a man.

Solomon: In the last few days, I have shown you much of Israel. But you have not told me anything of your own country.
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.
Sheba: And now, instead, the rulers of those countries come to you.

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: As King of Israel, would you abandon the god of your people for mine?
Solomon: Still, I dared hope.

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.
Sheba: The way of a woman is simple, my lord. It is always to follow the way of a man.
