Queen of the South (Greek: βασίλισσα νότου, basilissa notou) is an alternative title for the Queen of Sheba, used in two parallel passages in the New Testament (Matthew 12:42 and Luke 11:31), where Jesus said: Occasionally, biblical translators have used the phrase "a Queen of the South",[3] the Greek having no article, but this has been criticized as incorrect.
[5] An account also cited that the "Queen of the South" was a reference to a queen of Egypt because the term "king of the South" was recognized as a biblical term for the Egyptian monarch.
[7] But, it seems clear that the reference is to the visit by the Queen of Sheba to Solomon as described in 1 Kings 10 and 2 Chronicles 9.
In the New Testament passages, Jesus refers to the Queen's arrival, saying that, in the final judgment, even she, being skeptical until she met with Solomon personally, will condemn the current generation for their lack of faith, since "One greater than Solomon is here".
The Queen believed as she received answers while face-to-face with Solomon.
