(SF novel) East of Nakba (137)
Chapter 46 Inner enemy of Jewish state (2) Solomon
and Sheba (1/2)
Israel government launched operations to call
back to their homeland the Jews who were still suffering from poverty and
discrimination at every corner of the world. It covered the people who were
supposedly of Jewish descent according to legend. One of operations was called
"Operation Solomon".
The story of King Solomon and the Queen of
Sheba could be read in the Old Testament. In 980 BC, Queen Makeda, who ruled Sheba,
now called Ethiopia, paid tribute to King Solomon of ancient kingdom of Israel.
Israel was more than 3,000 kilometers away from Sheba. During the stay of Queen
Makeda there, King Solomon was fascinated by the beauty of Queen Makeda. So, he
cheated the Queen and took her into the bed. Pregnant queen returned home and got
one boy. Later, Sheba changed its name to the Ethiopian Empire. The empire
survived until the end of the 20th century. The descendants of Queen Makeda
continued to live quietly in history as one of the "lost twelve
tribes" of Jewish descendants.
