Matthew 1-Matthew 3

This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham:
Abraham was the father of Isaac,
Isaac the father of Jacob,
Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,


Why the genealogy only mention Judah?

Matthew 1:16, 20
16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah.

20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

Actually the father of Joseph is Jacob, but when the angel spoke to Joseph in the dream, the angle call him the son of David.

Why the name of David is so important?
