The Queen of Sheba (Hebrew: מלכת שבא Malkaṯ Šəḇâ in Biblical Hebrew; Malkat Sh’va in Modern Hebrew; Ge’ez: ንግሥተ ሳባ Nigiste Saba (Nəgəstä Saba); Arabic: ملكة سبأ Malikat Sabaʾ) was a monarch of the ancient kingdom of Sheba and is referred to in Yemenite and Ethiopian history the Bible the Qur’an Yoruba customary tradition and Josephus. She is widely assumed to have been a queen regnant but since there is no historical proof of this she may have been a queen consort.
