Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Hebrew teachings, around 1250 BC, a man named Moses led the Jews out of slavery in Egypt and received the Ten Commandments from God. The Hebrews began to record the commandments and other legal principles in writing. They were included in the Torah in the sixth century BC. and eventually became the first five books of the Bible. The written Torah ("teachings") gave the ancient Hebrews a set of religious and moral laws.
After the Romans crushed the Hebrew rebellion in 70 AD and destroyed the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Faced with religious persecution, many Jews began to flee their homeland, which the Romans called Palestine. Known as Jews because of the area of their homeland called Judea, these people migrated throughout the Middle East.
The Torah does not recognize the concept of kings ruling by divine right. When enemy nations threatened their survival, the Hebrews in 1030 BC, according to tradition, appointed Saul as their first king. But Saul and the other Hebrew kings who followed him were never considered gods or high priests with authority to interpret God's will.
The Hebrew kings, like everyone else, were required to observe the Ten Commandments and other laws of the Torah. The written Torah, not the whims of kings, was considered the law of the land.
