Abstract

The validity of the analysis of the monarchic regimen in the Jewish people history lies in the fact that although the State of Israel doesn’t base its law in the religious lay, its bond with Jewish tradition is meaningful. That is why the question about the ideal government system regarding our sources and the different actor that debate there, needs a profound study. From the origin of the willing for a King to the ethical, political and leadership shown especially in King David, whose dynasty –according with Jewish tradition- will bring world’s redemption.
