The House of Solomon is the former ruling Imperial House of the Ethiopian Empire. Its members claim patrilineal descent from Solomon of Israel and the Queen of Sheba. The Queen gave birth to Menelik I after her biblically described visit to Solomon in Jerusalem.
The Preservation Of The Crown of David
"The queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame, and she traveled to Jerusalem to test him with difficult questions. She brought with her a large group of attendants, as well as camels loaded with spices, jewels, and a large amount of gold. When she and Solomon met, she asked him all the questions that she could think of. He answered them all; there was nothing too difficult for him to explain." The rest of the tale describes the Queen's awe of Solomon's wisdom, riches, and relationship with God, as well as the two monarchs' exchange of gifts. This brief text forms the basis for later embellishments of the queen's voyage.
Few other direct references to the queen occur in Biblical sources. In Matthew 12:42 (repeated almost exactly in Luke 11:31), Jesus says, "On the Judgment Day the Queen of Sheba will stand up and accuse you, because she traveled all the way from her country to listen to King Solomon's wise teaching." Also, throughout the centuries, the Old Testament book known alternately as the Song of Songs and the Song of Solomon has been speculated to be a series of love poems sent between Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.

THE QUEEN OF SHEBA
I AM has kept his promise to King David by always keeping a King in the Earth to sit on the Throne of David. Through the marriage relationship of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba (Ethiopia) I AM eventually sent the Crown and throne of David through the Kingdom of Ethiopia to fulfill the promises I AM made to King David while the true Hebrew Israelites has been expelled from the Promised Land of Israel for the last 2000 years.
Though Jesus/YeshaYah is our King in Heaven and King over all Kings there are many promises written in the scripture concerning I AM restoring the House of David through King David that does not apply directly to our King Jesus/YeshaYah in heaven but to a selected earthly king that Jesus/YeshaYah has chosen to represent him whom is born of the physical lineage of King David whom is alive and well today. Romans 11:26, Psalms 110, Rev 2:26-29, Ezekiel 37:20-29
With the abolishment of the monarchy system of Government in Ethiopia in 1975 the Crown/Throne of David was passes on to the descendent of King David at the passing of Emperor Amha Selassie I (Named Emperor in Exile) after his father's passing and his escape from Ethiopia whom was the Elder Son of Emperor Haile Selassie I in 1997. The anointed chosen leader of Israel is King of Judah/Israel is now King Travis Refuge, the Great Grandson of the Emperor Haile Selassie I and Grandson of Emperor Amha Selassie I. King Travis Refuge has been anointed and appointed by I AM the Creator of Heaven and Earth and our Lord Jesus/YeshaYah to bring the true Hebrew Israelites back to the Promised land of Israel and restore the fallen House of Israel according to what is written in the book of Amos 9:11.

In Exile
The Crown of David went through Ethiopia only for preservation while Israel/Negroes were in 2000 years of exile. I AM, the awesome God of Israel/Negroes knew that the Hebrew Israelite Nation would be expelled from the Promised Land of Israel for 2000 years so he sent the Crown through Ethiopia so that he would preserve the crown as well as keep his promise to King David that one of his decedents would always be seated on the throne in the earth.
Jeremiah 33:17 and 2 Samuel 7:13
King Solomon and his Cushite wife the Queen of Sheba/Ethiopia produced a son by the name of (Menelik) from his Hebrew Israelite seed. Now that Israel's/Negroes 2000 years of exile is expired I AM has raised King David/King Travis Refuge up through this royal bloodline amongst the house of Judah exiled in the U.S.A. The purpose is so that he (I AM) would use King Travis as he did with Moses to bring Israel/Negroes back to the wilderness of Egypt to meet I AM prior to crossing over the Red Sea/Sea of Aqaba. King David is also commissioned to reestablish the throne/House of David in Israel after Israel's/Negroes brief meeting with I AM (God) in the Egyptian Wilderness. Ezekiel 20:30-44 [MSG], Acts 15:14-17, Amos 9:11-12
