The second book
The first book of the Son of David is Ecclesiastes, and the second is Matthew. The first book contains the wisdom of the world, the second the record of the Wisdom of God, Jesus Christ. These two words are reflected in the name 'David'.
דוד David means a distinction ו between two words ד. The 'books of David' (Ecclesiates and Matthew) distinguish between earthly wisdom and heavenly wisdom.
