"And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants." — 1 Kings 10:13 (ASV)
The king first of all bountifully gave her a present he thought most fitting; and then, subsequently, permitted her to ask whatever she wished. How much is this like our King Solomon, who has already given us all our hearts can wish for; and yet, if there is any right desire that is still ungratified, he provides the golden mercy-seat at the foot of his throne, where we may present our petitions to him, encouraged by his gracious word: Ask what thou wilt; according to thy faith, so shall it be unto thee.
