MATTHEW 12:42 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.”
The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. The Queen of Sheba (1 Kings 10:1–10) who traveled from the ends of the earth to hear Solomon's wisdom will condemn the generation that had something greater than Solomon and rejected him. The greater-than pattern — greater than the temple (verse 6), greater than Jonah (verse 41), greater than Solomon (verse 42) — accumulates into a comprehensive christological claim.
