Where was Jesus Born?

Where was Jesus born and what relevance does this have to the readers of the New Testament in light of the Old Testament?

Was Jesus born in just a random city or does that location -- Bethlehem -- have a deeper meaning, even in the meaning of the name?

Also, what prophetic announcements were there of Jesus from the Old Testament and were they prophesies of a King? What type of king were the Jewish people expecting? Does Jesus fulfill these expectations?
