I hope for her sake its the latter and that she really does love God and not some other god. I also noted the 666 just because of relation to the devil that the number represents--there is a lot written on that as I tried to research specific to Solomon but found no actual connection that was verifiable. I did check and found that line was repeated in Kings--you have a mind like a steel trap!
6 But I did not believe what they said until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half the greatness of your wisdom was told me; you have far exceeded the report I heard.
This one caught my eye because she is like me and her need to see to believe. Solomon was not God so I don't think it was necessarily wrong for her to need a little verification of what she was hearing although presumably she was getting info from trusted sources.
But for me and my faith it is probably a dangerous thing that I sometimes feel the need for physical proof to validate my faith in God. I have plenty of examples of his greatness and what I am capable of understanding is so small compared to his greatness there really is no amount of seeing that could answer all my questions. So I need to have faith and not always need to see with my own eyes expressions of his greatness.
