Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom,.... Which she perceived by his answers to things relative to all sorts of science, natural, civil, and divine:

and the house that he had built; the singular for the plural, "house for houses"; the house of the Lord, his own house, that for Pharaoh's daughter, and the house of the forest of Lebanon; in all which there appeared not only surprising grandeur and magnificence, but exquisite art and skill; there was a great display of his wisdom in the form and contrivance of them. Josephus p says, what exceedingly surprised her, and raised her admiration, was the house of the forest of Lebanon.

p Antiqu. l. 8. c. 6. sect. 5.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 10:4. Had seen all Solomon's wisdom — By the answers which he gave to her subtle questions.

And the house that he had built — Most probably his own house.
