وَجَدتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ فَهُمْ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ﴿٢٤﴾

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
How the Hoopoe came before Sulayman and told Him about Saba'Allah says:فَمَكَثَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ(But (the hoopoe) stayed not long,) meaning, he was absent for only a short time. Then he came and said to Sulayman:أَحَطتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِ(I have grasped which you have not grasped) meaning, `I have come to know something that you and your troops do not know.'وَجِئْتُكَ مِن سَبَإٍ بِنَبَإٍ يَقِينٍ(and I have come to you from Saba' with true news.) meaning, with true and certain news.
