Best Answer

In 41 BCE, Herod was made tetrarch over the Roman territories in Palestine, but he lost Palestine to the Parthians about a year later. In 38 BCE Rome made Herod king of the Idumaeans and Samaritans. He recaptured Jerusalem in 37 BCE, thus becoming king of the Jews. In 30 BCE, he was also given control of Samaria, Jericho and the coast. So Herod the Great had become king of a huge territory that included both Jews and Gentiles, with a range of ethnic groups.

After Herod's death in 4 BCE, Rome split the kingdom among his three sons, with Archelaus getting Judea, Samaria and Idumaea. King Archelaus was a particularly unpopular king and, in 6 BCE, Rome deposed him and made Judea a province under a Roman governor.

A kingdom was visual. It is a part of the world that is ruled by a King. The 1st century Jews lived under the Romans. This was the same concept: the Romans ruled over them. The Jews were hoping for a Messiah to establish visual kingdom; to restore the kingdom of Israel and its power.

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.
