NO. The Authorized Bible does not mention Solomon and the Queen of Sheba having sexual relations or having a child together, let alone having "a son". 2Chronicles 9:12 states:- "And King Solomon himself gave the queen of Sheba all her delight for which she had asked, besides [the value of] what she brought to the king. So she turned about and went to her own land, she together with her servants". *** There are some traditions held by different religious groups who believe that where The Bible says, "And King Solomon himself gave the queen of Sheba all her delight for which she had asked..." this meant that she asked him to have sex with her. The Bible clearly states that she received gifts from Solomon that surpassed the value of the gifts she had brought for him and then, "...So she turned about and went to her own land, she together with her servants". She is not mentioned again as having any other connection with Solomon, or of having his child. *** Besides, the Bible informs us, at 1Kings 11:3- "And he (Solomon) came to have seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives gradually inclined his heart." With over 1000 women to keep Solomon occupied, he would have been comitting adultery with the Queen of Sheba. Any child of their union would have died, like the first child of his father, David and Bath-sheba, his mother, (who was still the wife of Uriah) because the child was conceived before she and David were married.

Rehoboam

1 Kings-14,21

Rehoboam son of Solomon was king in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his Name. His mother's name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite,not the Queen of Sheba

Solomon did not have a son with the Queen of Sheba, the bible do not say so.

There is a compilation of ancient Ethiopian legends, Kabra Nagast, in which there is an account of King Solomon seducing the Queen of Sheba and fathering a son, named Menelik I [there went on to be a Menelik the II]; but as this is only out of a legend, and the fact of her having a son named Menelik is not cited in scriptures, I cannot be sure. Hope that at least helps a little bit.

1 Kings 11:43 tells us that Rehoboam was the son and successor of King Solomon. According to the Bible, he was briefly king of the United Monarchy and then ruled in Judah alone.

Scholars say this account is legendary. They say there probably was no United Monarchy, and that Israel had a different culture, different pottery and spoke a different dialect of Hebrew from the southern kingdom in Judah. Historians believe that Solomon was merely a local tribal warlord and that there was no royal line in Judah until centuries after the time attributed to Rehoboam. In other words, it is unlikely that Solomon had a son called Rehoboam.

Yes, Solomon, son of King David, had several children. He is known to have had at least three sons: Rehoboam, Abijah, and Shephatiah.

It is known or at least is popular idea, that Solomon had Four Queens. This does not mean that Poker was played in ancient Israel.
