Two things in this article jumped out at me;

1. “It might come as a shock to many to learn that hundreds of descendants of King David are alive today”

It’s more likely thousands.

2. “Within the Jewish community, genealogical studies have shown several families that can claim descent ben akhar ben (father to son) in a direct line, most notably the Dayan, Shealtiel and Charlap/Don Yechia families. Most of these families come from Aleppo, Syria.”

The Aleppo part explains the islamic genocide going on there right now with our Progressive’s support.

What is going on in Aleppo right now has nothing to do with the Davidic dynasty. There have been virtually no Jews in Syria since shortly after Israel regained its independence in 1948.

There are certainly more Syrian Jews in Deal, New Jersey than in Aleppo - and those are just the ones on vacation from Brooklyn.

Re: the number of descendants of King David - the figure of “hundreds” only refers to the number who can prove it via their family trees. After 90 or so generations, Jews being scattered across the Mideast and Europe, and across the world over the last few hundred years, and adding in intermarriage and conversions, I’d venture to say that there must be at least a million, and possibly tens or hundreds of millions. Over that length of time, a very tiny change in the number of children per family would result in VERY large numbers.
