29:30 – The love story of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba is memorialized not only in the movies and the Kebra Nagast, but in the book of the Bible variously known as the Song of Solomon, the Song of Songs, or the Canticle of Canticles. It resulted in a male love child being born during Queen Makeda’s return journey to Sheba (Ethiopia). When this man-child attained his majority, he resolved to make his own pilgrimage to Jerusalem to visit his father, a trip that culminated in a plot to steal the Ark of the Covenant from the Temple of Solomon.

30:14 – The Ethiopian sacred text known as the Kebra Nagast tells the full story of the visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon, including what happened to the Ark of the Covenant. It is a decidedly non-canonical and somewhat steamy story, and the action will get even hotter in the next episode when we investigate the Song of Solomon, also known as the Song of Songs, arguably the sexiest book of the Bible. Dav(e) in Kentucky conducts the proceedings, but not the accordions.
