Editing British Israelism (section)

===The British throne is a continuation of the Davidic throne===
Some adherents further claim that the [[British royal family]] is of lineal descent from the [[Davidic line|house]] of [[King David]] via a daughter of [[Zedekiah]], the last king of [[Kings of Judah|Judah]]. According to this legend, the prophet [[Book of Jeremiah|Jeremiah]], and his scribe, [[Baruch ben Neriah|Baruch]], escaped with "the king's daughters" (Jer. 41:10; 43:6) to Egypt. They later travelled to Ireland, where one of the surviving Judahite princesses, [[list of legendary kings of Britain#Tea Tephi|Tea Tephi]], married a local [[High King of Ireland]]. From this fabled union the Davidic throne was supposedly preserved, having been transferred to Ireland, then Scotland, and later England, whence the British monarchs are alleged to have descended.<ref>{{cite book |last=Hexham |first=Irving |contribution=British Israelism |title=Evangelical Dictionary of Theology |edition=2 |editor-last=Elwell |editor-first=Walter A. |publisher=Baker Book House Company |location=Grand Rapids, MI |year=2001 |page=187}}</ref> The [[Stone of Scone]], which has been used in the coronations of Scottish, English, and British monarchs for centuries, is traditionally claimed to be the [[Stone of Jacob|pillow stone]] on which the biblical patriarch, Jacob, slept, and the stone used in David's coronation.<ref name="Brackney 2012"/>
