John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold,.... The same sum that Hiram sent him, See Gill on "1Ki 9:14" this fulfilled the prophecy, so far as it respected Solomon, Ps 72:15and of spices very great store, and precious stones; see 1Ki 10:2 there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon; that is, into Judea.

Josephus reports , that some say that the balsamic plant, which Judea was afterwards so famous for, was brought by this queen, and a gift of hers to Solomon; and Diodorus Siculus speaks of it as in Arabia, and not to be found in any other part of the world.
