The first performance took place on March 17, 1749 at the Theater Royal in Covent Garden , London .
libretto
The librettist of the work is unknown. While it has been suggested that Thomas Morell may have provided the text, Winton Dean argues that the nature metaphors are rather unusual for Morell's dry style.
The libretto is essentially based on the books of the kings ( 1 Kings 1-11 KJV ) and the chronicle ( 2 Chr 1-9 KJV ). To visit the Queen of Sheba who found Antiquitates Judaicae the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus use.
