Battle Dwarf Gimli on Nostr: "The Bible says Jesus was the king of the jews" - false. Pontius Pilate calls Jesus ...
"The Bible says Jesus was the king of the jews" - false. Pontius Pilate calls Jesus "king of the jews" while mocking him. The Bible, and Jesus, never make this claim.
The first mention of Jews at all, is in 2 Kings 16, when King Rezin of Syria throws the jews out of Eilat (which is still there). Prior to that, jews are not mentioned at all. It is an assumption that the Israelites (sons of Israel, a man), the Hebrews, and the Judeans, are Jews - an assumption that Jews have capitalized upon with great effect.
The word for jews in Greek, Hebrew, Latin and Arabic, and probably Aramaic, is some version of "yehudi/yehudim". This word has not changed in thousands of years. And yet, everyone acts like it doesn't exist, allowing the jews to carry on their charade of being the chosen ones.
We all know about number 109.
Nobody seems to know about number 1: Eilat, Syria.
