[Avodah] 10 tribes -- exile without redemption

[Zev Sero via Avodah]

Another idea: To expect a redeemer from the House of David one must 
first subject oneself to that House.  Those who reject its sovereignty 
can't (by definition) expect one of its members to save them, so on 
being exiled they would naturally assume that this would be their new 
home and these their new neighbors, with whom they must assimilate.
