Why is Jesus called the Son of David? In the Davidic covenant in 2 Samuel 7, God told David, "12 When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever." One reason we know this is looking past Solomon to Jesus is the use of the word "forever," which occurs 3 times in the verses. Solomon didn't live – or reign – "forever." If I said, "Who is the son of David?" You would ask, "Capital S Son of David or lowercase s son of David?" Son of David might top the list of most well-known messianic titles for Jesus. Here are just a few examples using Matthew's gospel: • Matthew 1:1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, THE SON OF DAVID. • Matthew 9:27 Two blind men followed [Jesus], crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, SON OF DAVID." They don't even call him Jesus, or Christ. • Matthew 20:31 The crowd rebuked (the 2 blind men), telling them to be silent, but they cried out all the more, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"
