Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 12:42

42 The Queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for she came from the uttermost parts ofthe earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon is here.

We have the History to which this relateth, 1 Kings 10.1. &c. she is here called the Queen of the South, in the Book of Kings, and 2 Chron. 9.1. the Queen of Sheba, whether this S[illegible: 1 letter]eba or Saba was in Arabia or Ethiopia, is not much M[illegible: 1 letter]terial; certain it is, it was Southward of Iudea, and a place at a great distance. Yet saith our Saviour, Tho She was a great Queen, tho she lived at so great a distance from Ierusalem, tho She had only heard of the Fame and Wisdom of Solomon: Yet She came in Person to hear his wise Discourses▪ either about things Natural or Super-natural. T[illegible: 1 letter]ese Wretched Jews are not put to it to take a journy, I am come [illegible: 1 letter]mongst them, I who am greater than Solomon, who am the Eternal Wisdom, and come to Discourse of Heavenly Wisdom to them; I am come to their Doors, the[illegible: 1 letter]r's, to whom the Notion of a Messiah is no new thing, they have heard of me, they are no Heathens, but bred up to the knowledge of God. I have done many Miracles before them, yet they will not he[illegible: 1 letter]r, nor believe me. The Queen of Sheba in the day of Judgment shall rise up as a Witness against them, when God shall Condemn them for their unbelief. The more Light, and Means, [illegible: 1 letter]nd Obligat[illegible: 1 letter]ons Men have upon them, to Faith and Holiness, the greater will their Judgment, and Condemnation be.
