===========================
What has a king got to do with land ownership?  Land is originally 
obtained from hefker, and then sold to other people, and that doesn't 
require a king.
===========================
So then how does the king acquire all the land so that those who understand dina dmalchuta as being based on the king owning all the land have a case?
And how did it work from adam harishon down?
