Jewish tradition was that King David had been born in Bethlehem. The Jews of the first century believed that a king, descended from David, would be born in Bethlehem and would recover Judea's independence. This longed-for king was known as the Messiah (anointed one). Jesus was born in Bethlehem and was descended from David, because he was the Messiah.
