Who was the person who tried to get the Title of King of the Jews before it was given to Jesus?

Every single Jewish King was "King of the Jews." It is not a special title.

Heck, every single Jewish King was also called messiah (as were some Non-Jewish Kings).

The Jewish conception of these terms different from the Pauline Christian one.

Saul was the first king of Israel. His line ended with him.

David was the next king and started the Davidic dynasty.

There were many kings after that.

At some point, Israel split into two kingdoms - with completing kings

If you are talking about the time of Roman occupation -

Before the Romans, the Hashmonaim, a priestly family, were able to repel the Greeks and took the kingship over Israel. I believe Judah Maccabbee was the first Hashmonaic king.

The Romans interfered into Israeli politics and put Herod onto the throne.

At the time of Jesus, the Herodian family ruled as puppet kings by Roman license.

All of them were called some variation of "Herod" - I don't remember which particular one was in charge at the particular time.

Jesus was never king - not by Roman authority or Jewish acclaim.

When he was executed some jokers put a plaque over the cross "this is the king of the Jews" - it was supposed to be ironic.

After the Herodians,

Simon Bar Kohba, a descendant of the Davidic line, was able to repel the Romans and ruled as king of an independent Israel for a short time (until the Romans took it back)

Herod the Great was given the title King of the Jews by the Roman Senate around 40BC for his father's support of Julius Caesar

The Romans *appointed* the king -- those trying to usurp the power of the appointed king were crucified. Maybe *that's* why the Romans crucified the Christian god.... Hundreds of Jews hung from crosses lining the streets of Jerusalem at the time. Many were crucified for simply creating a disturbance!

Jesus' crucifixion was most certainly pre-ordained. Otherwise, we would have no Christianity today and no one would be condemned to eternal torment vs. eternal bliss.

Adam Sandler.

Larry King. It was in his young, wilder years. He was so disappointed he changed his last name and everything. He figured if he couldn't be "Larry, King of the Jews" he would settle for "Larry King". True story or just coincidence? Hmmm.........

pst: king of the Jews = Law (Allegory), and

no man is justified by the law, not even Jesus: Gal 3,

so we find "forsaken" in the midst of 7 last utterances.

In comparison and contrast to the Law, says

I will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you: Enmity

we have God's Grace, says

I will never leave you, nor ever forsake you: Friend

John 15:15 says let's all be Friend k-now,

for a servant (prophet: law) is a k-now not.

Luke 16:16 says the law and prophets (servants: enmity) were,

but since that time Kingdom of God (friend k-now) is preached.

So the Bible ends with only Grace, no mention of Law:

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus-->Christ with you all. Amen.

Herod

Coulda been - King Herod?
