An Ascent or an Offering?
Scholars note a likely scribal error in this verse. The Hebrew for "his ascent" is very similar to the word for "his burnt offering" used in the parallel account in 1 Kings. This suggests the Queen of Sheba was overwhelmed not just by a grand staircase, but by the magnificent scale and devotion of Solomon's worship and sacrifices to God.
