He was the last king of Ethiopia (and as far as I know, all accepted monarchs have been Christian, I think there was a Muslim king that was deposed) and was supposedly descended from Solomon and the Queen of Sheba (though I've heard that the line or direct descent was broken at least once). They are big on relics (the Ark of the Covenant supposedly resides in Axum), so I didn't know if the "Haile Selassie Version" is like the "King James Version" or more an Ethiopian Orthodox-inspired Bible (not true to the manuscripts, also based on 'tradition'). Or perhaps that it was compiled by the Rastafarians. Just wondering, as I am completely ignorant.
