Son of David is a phrase that in some Second Temple Jewish (and Christian) circles came to be used in a messianic context as a title denoting the Messiah as a descendant of King David.
Overview
Christian sources show some ambiguity in labeling Jesus of the Son of David. The phrase never appears in the mouth of Jesus, and is only occasionally used by his followers. When asked whether the Messiah is the son of David, Jesus seems to dismiss the title, claiming that the messiah should be rather called the Lord of David. Only in the Infancy narrative of Matthew and Luke, the connection between Jesus and the Son of David become more prominent so much so that Bethlehem is made the birthplace of Jesus. Mark and John, however, are unaware or dismiss the connection.
