Kebra Nagast

Wikipedia extract

The Kebra Nagast, or The Glory of the Kings, is a 14th-century national epic of Ethiopia, written in Geʽez by Nebure Id Yeshaq of Aksum. In its existing form, the text is at least 700 years old and purports to trace the origins of the Solomonic dynasty, a line of Ethiopian Orthodox Christian monarchs who ruled the country until 1974, to the biblical king, Solomon and the Queen of Sheba through Menelik I and thus how the Ethiopian Emperors purportedly descended from the Davidic line as did Jesus.
