King Solomon and the Angel of Death: Succah 53a

This is a very strange story which I'm not sure how to interpret.

Hillel the Elder said, "My feet bring me to the place that I love...."

King Solomon had two Ethiopian scribes named Elicharef and Achaia.  One day King Solomon saw the Angel of Death, who was said.  King Solomon asked, "Why are you sad?"  The Angel replied, "I have to take these two Ethiopians sitting here before you."  King Solomon sent the scribes in the company of Se'irm to Moza Deluz.  (The commentator Rashi explains that King Solomon had authority of demons, including the kind of demons named Se'irim.  Also Moza Deluz is a city known for being exempt from the authority of the Angel of Death.)  When the scribes arrived at Moza Deluz, they died.

The next day, King Solomon saw the Angel of Death was happy.  King Solomon asked, "Why are you happy?"  The Angel replied, "You sent the scribes to the very place where I needed them to be [so I could claim them.] "  King Solomon replied, "A person is brought to the place where they are required."
