Matthew provides a genealogy for Jesus, through Joseph and back through the male line, giving 28 generations from David to Jesus. According to Mathew, Jesus was descended from all the kings of Judah, but he omits the Old Testament kings Uzziah, Amaziah and Jehoash, who are listed in the Old Testament between Ahaziah (Ozias) and Jotham (Joatham). This was necessary in order to use numerology, based on repetition of the number 7, to prove that Jesus was destined for greatness.
Luke provides a genealogy for Jesus, through Joseph and back through the male line, giving 22 generations from David to Jesus. Unlike Matthew, he does not follow the royal line after David. Raymond E Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that neither genealogy is likely to be historically accurate.
One of Rehoboam's 28 sons, also called Abijam, who became the second king of the two-tribe kingdom of Judah and reigned from 980 to 978 B.C.E. (1Ki 14:31-15:8) He was a regal descendant of David on both his father's and his mother's side, the 16th generation from Abraham in the royal lineage of Jesus Christ. (1Chronicle 3:10; Matthew 1:7)

How many generations was David removed from the messiah?
------------------------Matthew demonstrated that there were 14 generations: from Abraham to David; from David to Josiah; from Josiah to Jesus - a total of 27 generations from David to Joseph, inclusive. To do this, he had to ignore 3 kings in the Old Testament and have David in the preceding (as 14) and following (as 1) groups, but not so Josiah.Luke had great men occur in multiples of 7 generations starting from Adam, with: Enoch at 7; Abraham at 21; David at 35; Jesus at 77 - a total of 35 generations from David to Joseph, inclusive. To do this, he had to insert his own fictitious people into the Old Testament list prior to David: Kainan at 13; Admin at 28.

Why did it take 42 generations for Jesus to come?
In Matthew's Gospel, there were: 14 generations from Abraham to David, inclusive; 14 generations from David to Josiah, inclusive; and 14 generations from Jechonias (son of Josiah) to Jesus, through Joseph. This is actually 41 generations from Abraham to Jesus, since David is counted twice. In Luke's Gospel, there were: 77 generations from Adam to Jesus, through Joseph. This included 55 generations from Abraham to Jesus, once again inclusive. Luke's Gospel had great men occur in multiples of 7 generations starting from Adam, with: Enoch at 7; Abraham at 21; David at 35; Jesus at 77. The reason it took exactly this many generations in each case was that each of the authors wished in his own way to prove, through numerology, that Jesus was destined for greatness. The number 7 was regarded as associated with greatness, and so therefore was the number 14. To do this, Matthew had to ignore three kings in the Old Testament and to count David twice. Using a different, but parallel genealogy, Luke had to insert his own fictitious people into the Old Testament list: Kainan at 13; Admin at 28.
