Blessed be the LORD your God who delighted in you, setting you on His throne as king for the LORD your God; because your God loved Israel establishing them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness."Here, the queen of Sheba is honoring God for His gifting Solomon with the wisdom to rule his people well. She acknowledges that God made him king of Israel because He wanted the nation to last long and strong, and gave them the leader necessary to make that happen.
However, while she honors God, she does not follow God herself. She refers to Him as "your God", not "the God" or "our God." There's nothing here to suggest that she agrees with monotheism, much less that God is the only god. She appears to think that He is indeed powerful, but doesn't change her opinion of there being other options.
