Ethiopia
Ethiopia The area of N. Africa in the
Nile valley, part of the kingdom known in Egyptian as Nubia and in the OT as
Cush (Gen. 10: 6). From 715 to 656 Ethiopian kings reigned in
Egypt and King Tirhakah persuaded
Syria and
Phoenicia to make war on
Assyria. He was also an ally of
Hezekiah of
Judah (Isa. 18: 1–2; 20: 1–6) but the Assyrians conquered Egypt in 670 BCE. Nubia remained independent until absorbed into the Persian Empire (6th cent.
BCE) under
Darius. References in the prophets to the Ethiopians (Jer. 13: 23; Amos 9: 7) show that the people were well known in Israel and Judah. The Jewish settlement at
Elephantine was on the border of Ethiopia.
In the NT an Ethiopian
eunuch, probably a ‘God-fearer’, an official in the court of ‘the
Candace’, the queen mother, is encountered by
Philip (Acts 8: 26–40).
