>King David was from the Tribe of Judah.
But David was not a Jew. "Jews" didn't appear until almost 500 years after Davids death, when they returned from Babylon. Davids Kingdom of Israel contained all 12 tribes, including the Tribe of Judah, which was not "Jewish".

How bout King Solomon? Was he a Jew?
To: LostTribe
Right, but just like an "American" is understood to mean a citizen of the United States and NOT any citizen of North and South America, the word "Jew" is the English word we use to describe those from the Kingdom of Judah.

But David was not a Jew And neither was Moses, right? How moronic.
