After [[Solomon]], son of David, Israel was divided into north and south and there were frequent invasions from foreign countries, which gave the Jews a desire for a powerful [[Messiah]] like David. Many prophecies in the [[Old Testament]] described the Messiah, who would appear later, as King David. | After [[Solomon]], son of David, Israel was divided into north and south and there were frequent invasions from foreign countries, which gave the Jews a desire for a powerful [[Messiah]] like David.
