Did Solomon father the Queen of Sheba's son?

The queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones, and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.

There is a book of one religion that gives a story of the visit, stating that the floor of Solomon’s palace was of glass and the queen dreaded to cross it thinking it was water. It further states how she perceived Solomon would seek a gift in kind; hence she came forth right and told him he must promise not to touch her. The deal was that the promise stood on condition she drank no water at night.

The wisdom of the cunning and amorous Solomon led to his servant serving all the food that made her thirsty frequently. In her quest to quench the thirsty, she found Solomon in the kitchen and the rest is history. The belief is that the resultant child is the Ethiopian people. It is claimed the queen sent her son to see her father but he stole the Ark of the Covenant.

The Holy Bible says that when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built, the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD, there was no more spirit in her.

According to 1 King 10v6: ‘And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom. v7: Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.’

God had promised Solomon the wisdom and riches that no man will ever have. It is holy to assume Solomon enjoyed earthly life as much as he is in heaven. It cannot be same or worse. How much are you willing to sacrifice to live a Solomon life forever after? Repent and believe, confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour.
