Kebra Negast: Book of the Glory of Kings
A$23.95
Composed more than a thousand years ago, the Kebra Negast draws on much older documents to tell the remarkable tale of an Ethiopian King descended from the Hebrew royal line David, and Maqeda the legendary Queen of Sheba. According to the story, King Solomon was graced with a royal visit from the Queen, who stayed long and proved herself the equal of Solomon the Wise in a series of philosophical discussions. The book claims that, despite the ready availability of 700 wives and 300 concubines, Solomon successfully seduced the Queen, who brought forth a boy-child, Prince Ebna-Lahakim.
Solomon paid a heavy price for his illicit desire. As the Prince grew to manhood, he gathered round him a clique of royal supporters who, in one night. seized the two most powerful symbols of Israel's unique status before God - the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments and the Ark of the Covenant, carrying them back to Ethiopia where, it is said, they exist to this day.
Written originally in the Abyssinian language Ge'ez, this is the classic translation by Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, Cambridge Tyrwhitt Hebrew Scholar, and Keeper of the Department of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities in the British Museum.
