As a result of the association with King David and the Psalms, the Old Testament prophets universally saw the coming Messiah as 'David returned' ('and David shall forever be their Prince', says Jeremiah), and the associated Hebrew term 'Messiah ben David' was then taken by the gospel writers to suggest that Jesus was a ''Son'' of David - a fact which then resulted in the dubious (and conflicting) claims about Jesus' ancestry that are presented in the early parts of the gospels of Matthew and Luke.
