She·ba /ˈʃibə/
 希巴[古王國] ;極具魅力的美女


 Sheba
    an oath, seven. (1.) Heb. shebha, the son of Raamah (Gen. 10:7),
    whose descendants settled with those of Dedan on the Persian
    Gulf.

      (2.) Heb. id. A son of Joktan (Gen. 10:28), probably the
    founder of the Sabeans.

      (3.) Heb. id. A son of Jokshan, who was a son of Abraham by
    Keturah (Gen. 25:3).

      (4.) Heb. id. A kingdom in Arabia Felix. Sheba, in fact, was
    Saba in Southern Arabia, the Sabaeans of classical geography,
    who carried on the trade in spices with the other peoples of the
    ancient world. They were Semites, speaking one of the two main
    dialects of Himyaritic or South Arabic. Sheba had become a
    monarchy before the days of Solomon. Its queen brought him gold,
    spices, and precious stones (1 Kings 10:1-13). She is called by
    our Lord the "queen of the south" (Matt. 12:42).

      (5.) Heb. shebha', "seven" or "an oak." A town of Simeon
    (Josh. 19:2).

      (6.) Heb. id. A "son of Bichri," of the family of Becher, the
    son of Benjamin, and thus of the stem from which Saul was
    descended (2 Sam. 20:1-22). When David was returning to
    Jerusalem after the defeat of Absalom, a strife arose between
    the ten tribes and the tribe of Judah, because the latter took
    the lead in bringing back the king. Sheba took advantage of this
    state of things, and raised the standard of revolt, proclaiming,
    "We have no part in David." With his followers he proceeded
    northward. David seeing it necessary to check this revolt,
    ordered Abishai to take the gibborim, "mighty men," and the
    body-guard and such troops as he could gather, and pursue Sheba.
    Joab joined the expedition, and having treacherously put Amasa
    to death, assumed the command of the army. Sheba took refuge in
    Abel-Bethmaachah, a fortified town some miles north of Lake
    Merom. While Joab was engaged in laying siege to this city,
    Sheba's head was, at the instigation of a "wise woman" who had
    held a parley with him from the city walls, thrown over the wall
    to the besiegers, and thus the revolt came to an end.
