If Jews do not believe in Jesus as the Son of God why was He called the King of the Jews?

The term "King of the Jews" was a term given to him by the Romans since they understood the term Messiah (like Jews at the time did) to refer to a terrestrial ruler. As a result, if Jesus was the Messiah as he claimed, he was effectively the "King of the Jews". However, the majority of Jews and both the Pharisaic and Sadducee Establishments would have rejected his claims to being the Messiah, so the Roman term is irrelevant to ascertaining Jews' true views of Jesus.
