peace and hotep,
according to the talmud, when moses was 18, he fled egypt. after killing an egyptian. he then became a soldier and fought on the side of the king of ethiopia, against a rebellion led by an egyptian bi'lam. after the king won, moses became very popular. as a result, when the king of ethiopia died, moses was appointed as their new king and 'THEY GAVE HIM THE WIDOW OF THEIR KING FOR A WIFE.' moses reigned 'in justice and righteousness'. but the QUEEN OF ETHIOPIA, adonith wanted her own son by the dead king to rule. she said to the people: "WHY SHOULD THIS STRANGER CONTINUE TO RULE OVER YOU?" the talmud account goes, that even though the people loved and wanted him, moses resigned voluntarily, and departed from their land. the people bestowed great honors upon him.
