Gill's Notes on the Bible

The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents,.... Tarshish either signifies the sea, as it is sometimes rendered in the Targum; and then the sense is, the kings of the sea, that is, of the islands of the sea, as it follows, shall be subject to the kingdom of Christ; and, as a token of it, bring presents to him, as the Moabites and Syrians did to David, and as several nations and kings did to Solomon, 2 Samuel 8:2; or it designs a large country inhabited by the Celtae b, and so is distinct from the islands; and then the sense is, that kings, both of the continent, and of the islands of the sea, shall do homage to the Messiah;

and the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts; the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Ethiopic, and Arabic versions, render it, "the kings of the Arabians and Saba"; and so Apollinarius, the Arabians, and Sabeans, these being places in Arabia Felix and Petraea c: this will be fulfilled when the kings of the earth shall bring their honour and glory into the New Jerusalem, Revelation 21:24. This, and the preceding verse, are interpreted of the Messiah by the ancient Jews d; who say e, that all the gifts that Jacob their father gave to Esau, the nations of the world shall return them to the King Messiah in time to come, according to the sense of these words; where it is not written "they shall bring"; but ישיהו f, "they shall return [presents]".

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The kings of Tarshish - On the situation of Tarshish, see the notes at Isaiah 2:16. Compare Psalms 48:7. The word seems to be used here to denote any distant region abounding with riches.

And of the isles ... - Representing also distant lands; or lands beyond the seas. The word “islands” among the Hebrews commonly denoted distant seacoasts, particularly those of the Mediterranean. See the notes at Isaiah 41:1.

The kings of Sheba and Seba - places in Arabia. On the word “Sheba,” see the notes at Isaiah 60:6. On the word “Seba,” see the notes at Isaiah 43:3.

Shall offer gifts - See the notes at Psalms 45:12. Compare Isaiah 60:5-7, Isaiah 60:13-17.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 72:10. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shalt bring presents — Though Solomon did not reign over Cilicia, of which Tarsus was the capital, yet he might receive gifts, not in the sense of tribute; for מנחה minchah, the word here used, signifies a gratitude or friendly offering.

The kings of Sheba and Seba — Both countries of Arabia. From the former came the queen of Sheba, to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And she brought exceeding great presents or gifts, but not in the way of tribute, for Solomon had no jurisdiction in her country. And certainly many sovereigns, to obtain his friendship, sent him various presents of the choicest produce of their respective countries; and no doubt he did with them as with the queen of Sheba, gave them gifts in return. Hence the word אשכר eshcar is used, which signifies "a compensative present, made on account of benefits received."
