Prior to his death, King David has a vision from God, in which he's told that Solomon (Yul Brynner), King David's younger son, should succeed him in the throne. His other son Adonijah is not happy with the decision, and swears he'll get the throne. King Solomon is wise and benevolent, but is seen as a threat for other monarchs. The Egyptian Pharaoh, the Queen of Sheba (Gina Lollobrigida), and Adonijah, plot against Solomon to divide the Twelve Tribes of Israel, but the Queen of Sheba falls in love with Solomon too, and decides to fight by his side, against the Egyptian Pharaoh.
