+# Son of David
+
+Jesus is the “son of David.” That is, Jesus is a descendant of David. 
+
+When Jesus was born as a human, he was born into the family of David (see: Romans 1:3). The New Testament people often wrote about Jesus being the “son of David” (see: Matthew 1:1-17; 9:27; 21:9; Luke 1:32; 2 Timothy 2:8; Revelation 5:5; 22:16). This is because Old Testament prophecies said that the messiah would be the son of David (see: 2 Samuel 7:13-16; Psalm 2:7-12; Psalm 89:19-29; Isaiah 9:7; 16:5; Jeremiah 23:5-6; 30:9; 33:14-22; Ezekiel 34:22-24). He is the true king of Israel. When people called Jesus the “son of David,” they were saying that Jesus is the messiah.

+#### More Information About This Topic
+
+There is a genealogy for Jesus in the gospel of Matthew and another one in the gospel of Luke (see: Matthew 1:1-17; Luke 3:23-38). Both genealogies show that Jesus was a descendant from David. However, the genealogies are different in some ways. 
+
+Some scholars think that both of Jesus’ parents were descendants of David. They think Matthew wanted people to know that Jesus’ father was a descendant of David. They think Luke wanted people to know that Jesus’ mother was a descendant of David. So Joseph was not the biological son of Heli. Joseph was Heli’s son by marriage. That is, Joseph was Heli’s son-in-law (see: Luke 3:23).
+
+Other scholars think that Joseph had two fathers. They think his biological father was Jacob but his legal father was Heli (see: Matthew 1:16; Luke 3:23). These scholars think that Heli died before he had a son. They also think that Jacob was Heli’s half-brother and that Jacob married Heli’s widow. Jacob was obeying the law of Moses when he married Heli’s widow (see: Deuteronomy 25:5-10). Joseph was born to Jacob and his wife. The law of Moses said that Joseph was considered the son of Heli.
