    Assuming the historicity of the persons involved and given that David's son Solomon had one thousand wives and concubines (1 Kings 11:3), who was not a descendent of David after a thousand years of intermarriage and childbearing?

    Mary is from Solomon, son of David and Joseph is from Nathan, son of David

    Matthew 1: 1:

    This is a record of the family line of Jesus Christ. He is the son of David. He is also the son of Abraham.
