Queen Hekima lives in Africa. She is married to King Balthazar. She loves studying the stars in the sky. She paints them every night. 

She knew she must follow the star to meet the newborn king, and she had a sense that this king would be different than any other king.

For this reason she chose the gift of gold. Perhaps the star meant the newborn king's riches were in heaven, and not on earth.
