The Crown Queen of the Principality of Sheba

The announcer continued, "so Jesus used to kiss Mary Magdalene on the... we are not sure... but there is information here to be garnered..."

...
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.

But what of Gold and Frankincense?

...
I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
6: Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
7: Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?
8: If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
9: I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
10: Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.
11: We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
12: While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
13: A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts

But... the Nubians claim that Solomon married Pharaoh's daughter... yes? Not
his mother Jocasta the Bath of Sheba? You see... what I want to understand is why
Pharaoh's daughter, obviously Nubian, depending on accepted roles, compared with "a company of horses in Pharaoh's
Chariots" whose cheeks were "comely with rows of jewels," neck "with chains of gold"
is conflated with the "dark" woman whom King David had relations with while her
husband was fighting for Jehovah's reputation, meaningfulness and dignity. I call
Jehovah to Witness this Stand.
