It is generally accepted that a "House of David" existed, but many believe that David could have only been the king or chieftain of Judah, which was likely small, and that the northern kingdom was a separate development.
Este general acceptat că o „Casă a lui David” a existat, dar mulți cred că David putea fi doar rege sau căpitan de plai al Iudei, iar că regatul de nord a avut o dezvoltare separată.
