Where you find this verse

What does it mean that Jesus is the Son of David?→How do I find Christ in the Old Testament?→Why did God promise David an eternal throne?→How does the old story reach Jesus?→What does it mean that Jesus is the Lion of Judah?→

That reaches back to this verse

In parallel with (this verse)Romans 1:3

Matthew's first verse says the same: the book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David.

“concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,”

A pattern of (this verse)2 Samuel 7:16
