Joseph Benson’s Bible Commentary

1 Kings 10:2,3

She communed with him of all that was in her heart Of all the doubts and difficulties wherewith her mind was perplexed. She had liberty to propound whatsoever she desired to be resolved about. Solomon told her all her questions Answered them to her satisfaction. There was not any thing which he told her not There was nothing concerning which she inquired, however difficult, which be did not reveal to her.
