καὶ βασίλισσα Σαβα ἤκουσεν τὸ ὄνομα Σαλωμων καὶ ἦλθεν τοῦ πειράσαι Σαλωμων ἐν αἰνίγμασιν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ ἐν δυνάμει βαρείᾳ σφόδρα καὶ κάμηλοι αἴρουσαι ἀρώματα καὶ χρυσίον εἰς πλῆθος καὶ λίθον τίμιον καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς Σαλωμων καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντα ὅσα ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτῆς
And the queen of Sheba heard of the name of Solomon and came to test Solomon with riddles in Jerusalem, with a very heavy retinue and camels bearing spices and gold in great abundance and precious stone; and she came to Solomon and spoke with him all that was in her soul.
The queen arrives as an examiner, not a tourist. The lavish caravan underscores distance and seriousness, while her speaking 'all that was in her soul' gives the scene personal intensity.
