{{bl| Son of David }}

The theme of Matthews's book is the Kingdom of Heaven. He has chosen this part of the prologue as a callback to Ecclesiastes 1:1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

Compare 'word's of the preacher' with 'book of the generation of Jesus Christ'. Jesus is the Preacher, being the incarnate Word of God. Ecclesiastes contains wisdom of the earthly kingdom and Matthew contains wisdom of the heavenly kingdom adding to the prophetic pattern of Two. David is a type of Christ, and so both books refer to Jesus as king in Jerusalem, though Matthew does so at the end of his book with the sign posted on the cross.
