Islam critiqued feels bloated; Solomon and the Queen?

In answer to the video "Quran, Mysticism and the Ignorance of Allah"

This youtuber claims, in a typical misleading behavior inherited by the untalented missionaries of the past and of today, basing himself on a most superficial reading of the Quran and other sources, that the story of Solomon's encounter with a Queen was simply copied from the available material floating around 7th century Arabia. This will be refuted, by presenting the Quran's version of the story, how it flies far above the closed minds and angry heads of such critics, incomparable in its depth and implications to any of the alleged sources. After doing that i will deal with the alleged mystical Jewish sources.

When the prophet-King Solomon found out that the nighboring kingdom of Sheba were sun worshippers, being a prophet he was extremely offended. He sent them a message in Allah's name that they must not exalt themselves against God and surrender to Allah in Islam 27:31. Later, the Queen would effectively declare her submission, together with Solomon, to Allah 27:44. So this noble Queen, instead of doing as her advisors suggested and go to war, decides to first test Solomon's intentions, in relation to his letter written in Allah's name and calling for her to submit to Allah. It was not a threatening letter, but rather one filled with a noble speech/karim

27:29"surely a honorable letter has been delivered to me".

She did not immidiately ask more specificities as to his religious call because she first wanted to ascertain the purity of Solomon's inner self. This is a crucial lesson, one often repeated in the Quran and neglected, corrupted in the previous scriptures; the unflinshing moral uprightness of a prophet of God can never be compromised so long as he is representing the divine will among a people. The Quran places this trait as one of the most recognizable condition for the truthfulness of an envoy from God.

This reality is expected, contrary to the depictions made in the previous scriptures, that someone sent by, and representing the ultimate truth, should be the best embodiement of that truth among his addressees. This logic did not escape even the pagan queen, who sent Solomon expensive gifts instead of declaring war as desired by her counselors, or asking outright the nature of the message he was calling her to. She wanted to see what his reaction would be, whether he would be interested in power and riches rather than spiritual matters as he was suggesting in his letter. Was he actually telling her to submit to God for her own good or because he wanted to benefit from her conversion in some way.  

Solomon however promptly returned the gifts. Wisdom and prophethood to him were the best gifts a human could hope for. The Quran points to that reality in relation to the prophet Muhammad. The wealthy rejected him among other reasons, because of him lacking in wordly eminence

43:32"and the mercy of your Lord is better than what they amass".

This is in stark contrast with the Biblical narrative, according to which the king Solomon, depicted as hoarding wealth from his subjects, enslaved nations and neighboring kingdoms, readily accepted the gifts of the queen

1Kings10:10-15"one hundred and twenty talents of gold and very many spices and precious stones; there had never arrived such an abundance of spices as those which the Queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. Also Hiram's ships that delivered gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir a huge quantity of almog-wood and precious stones..The weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold. Aside from [that which came through] merchants and the commerce of spice-peddlers and all the dependent kings and the regents of the land".

The righteous prophets of God, contrary to that corrupted depiction that is made, never compromised their integrity with wordly riches. No matter the aspects in which God raised them above their contemporaries, they never used their spiritual gifts in exchange of material reward.
Solomon was no exception to that rule and upon returning the queen's gifts, he communicated God's decree that

27:37"we will most certainly come to them with hosts which they shall have no power to oppose, and we will most certainly expel them therefrom in abasement, and they shall be in a state of ignominy".

Solomon not only rejected the offer brought by the queen's envoys, but did so in a forceful way so as to leave no ambiguity as to his intentions. Not only was he one who could not be bribed with money, but his message of spiritual reform is certainly not one that can be bought. This proved how upright Solomon was as a person and how convinced he was of the truth he was communicating. The Queen of Sheba already inclined to righteousness and was actually reassured by Solomon's gesture of refusing material offers, even ready to go to war so as to not compromise his message. Solomon's threat of invasion was crucial in conveying these points. She didnt take offense at his reaction because she hoped that he would be serious in his intent

27:35"The queen said, when the kings enter a land, they ruin it and debase its honorable people. They do just the same. I shall send them a gift, and wait to see with what reply my envoys return".

This was the wits and wisdom of Solomon who actually did not want to put the threat of invasion into action. This is seen by the fact that immidiately after the Queen's envoys were sent away with their gifts, Solomon, instead of mobilizing his army as he had threatened, requested for his assembly of jinn to perform a deed so impressive that it would expose whether

27:42"she gets to the truth or is one of those who are not guided aright".

He asked them to transport her throne, the symbol of a ruler's dominion, unto him in the blink of an eye.
