Answer:

O. Henry is using the wildest hyperbole to describe how Della and Jim valued their family treasures: her beautiful long hair and his gold watch. The references to the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon come from the story in the Old Testament about how the fabulously wealthy Queen of Sheba came to visit the even more fabulously wealthy King Solomon in Israel. It is to be found in the Bible in 1 Kings 10.
