How is it that Baha'u'llah, Who was born in Persia, could be a descendant of King David, who was born in Bethlehem and died in Jerusalem? The answer to this question is that after the time of King David, the Jews were exiled eastward, from their home in Israel to the city of Babylon. This fact of history provided the circumstances for the fulfillment of this prophecy.
(17:6)
