One Christian interpretation of the Davidic line counts the line as continuing to Jesus son of Joseph, according to the genealogies which are written in Matthew 1:1-16 descendants of Solomon and Luke 3:23-38 descendants of Nathan son of David through the line of Mary.
God did not promise an unbroken monarchy but one of David's descendants who would be qualified to sit on that throne when it was reestablished. For Jeremiah 33:14 states 14 "Look, the days are coming" -- this is the LORD's declaration -- "when I will fulfill the good promise that I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah."
One conventional explanation for these differences, from as early as John of Damascus, is that Nathan is the ancestor of the Virgin Mary, while Solomon is the ancestor of Mary's husband Joseph. The blood curse on the line of Jeconiah who was a descendant in the line of Solomon, so the genealogy in Matthew is tainted with a blood curse from ...
The number of sons by name in the Bible is 19. In addition, two further unnamed sons are recorded as having been born in Jerusalem, one, probably both, having died in infancy. One of these was the first child born of David's adulterous relationship with Bathsheba. Only one of David's daughters, Tamar, [1] is mentioned by name. [2]
David's ancestors are also understood as progenitors of the Messiah in several prophecies.

[93] More controversial are the prophecies on the Messiah's relation, or lack thereof, to certain of David's descendants:
He fled to David (reigned c. 1003–970 BCE) at Keilah, taking with him the ephod and other priestly regalia. [4] Rabbinical literature that linked the later extermination of the male descendants of David with the priests of Nob, also link the survival of David's descendant Joash with that of Abiathar.

According to 2 Samuel, Adonijah (Hebrew: אֲדֹנִיָּה , ’Ǎḏōnīyyā; "my lord is Yah") was the fourth son of King David. His mother was Haggith as recorded in the book of 2 Samuel 3:4. Adonijah was born at Hebron during the long conflict between David and the House of Saul.
He also colluded with David in the murder of Uriah (2 Samuel 11:14–25). Joab played a pivotal role as the commander of David's forces during Absalom's rebellion. Absalom, one of David's sons, rallied much of Israel in rebellion against David, who was forced to flee with only his most trusted men.
