The Kingdom of Semien ((ヘブライ語:ממלכת סאמיאן)), sometimes referred to as the Kingdom of Beta Israel ((ヘブライ語:ממלכת ביתא ישראל)), was an ancient Jewish kingdom of the Beta Israel people, centered in north western part of the Ethiopian kingdom of Abyssinia, which came to an end in 1627 during the reign of emperor Susenyos of Ethiopia. There is a disagreement regarding the exact time of the establishment of the kingdom; it was preceded by a number of regions which were in Jewish rule in the north-west part of Ethiopia. The Jewish-Ethiopian tradition dates the establishment of the Kingdom of Semien to the 4th century, right after the kingdom of Axum turned to Christianity during the reign of Emperor Ezana.〔James Bruce, ''Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile'', Vol. I, p. 485〕〔Steven Kaplan, ''The Beta Israel (Falasha) in Ethiopia'', p. 94〕 ==Incumbents== The Gideons Dynasty a dynasty of Ethiopian kings and privileged descendants of Zadok who was a high priest during the reign of King David and king Solomon.
