Solomon and Sheba

Adonijah:
You and your Sheban slut have defiled the fair name of Israel.

Pharaoh:
And how will you destroy Solomon?

Sheba:
It is said that Solomon is wise. But no matter how wise he may be, he is still human, with a human weakness.

Pharaoh:
Surely the way of a woman is beyond understanding.

Sheba:
The way of a woman is simple, my lord. It is always to follow the way of a man.

Abishag:
How interesting your encampment is. Are your people always so carefree and gay?

Sheba:
We enjoy life and pleasure. Don't you?

Abishag:
Oh yes, we do. But we are... an austere people. We tend to be more serious.

Sheba:
And you king... is he also serious?

Abishag:
King Solomon has a great responsibility.

Solomon:
In the last few days, I have shown you much of Israel. But you have not told me anything of your own country.

Sheba:
At the moment, my own land seems as distant as the stars.

Solomon:
In my youth, I used to dream of visiting all the faraway kingdoms of the earth.

Sheba:
And now, instead, the rulers of those countries come to you.

Solomon:
From the first, I knew that behind those lovely eyes is the brain of a very clever woman, who could never have traveled eight hundred leagues without a purpose.

Sheba:
You have found me out. How could I hope to deceive you? I have been trying to entrap you, with these (shakes arms), to bind you with soft chains, so that I may do with you as I will.

Solomon:
Every woman demands a price from a man.

Solomon:
Nothing must come between us.

Sheba:
Not even our gods? I knew this moment would come, for the things we believe in are not the same.

Solomon:
I had hoped that in time you would come to accept Jehovah.

Sheba:
As King of Israel, would you abandon the god of your people for mine?

Solomon:
Still, I dared hope.
