Best Answer

I doubt if the ancestry question about the coming Messiah was of much concern to David because it was God who had made the covenant with David that a King from his loins would sit on the throne of Judah and at the last time the "greater David", the Messiah would sit on the throne. David could not do a thing about it as God had made the covenant and it was up to God to perform it. But I guess you could say it was a good assurance to David.

How far back does each gospel trace Jesus' ancestry?

Matthew's Gospel traces Jesus' ancestry through the male line from his father Joseph, then Joseph's father Jacob, and back through the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, then Jechonias, to David and finally Abraham.Luke's Gospel traces Jesus' ancestry through the male line from his father Joseph, then Joseph's father Heli, and back through the great Zorobabel, son of Salathiel, then Neri, to David and finally Adam.Matthew says that there were 28 generations from David to Jesus, and 41 generations from Abraham to Jesus. Luke says that there were 42 generations from David to Jesus, and 77 generations from Adam to Jesus. Both genealogies contain significant discrepancies against the Old Testament genealogies and, needless to say, neither account is likely to be historically accurate.

Why was it important that the wise men and the shepheards were at Jesus' birth?

They were important only because mankind has made them important in all the stories surrounding Jesus' birth. But Jesus said, when replying to a question about the greatness of John the Baptist, "The least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." And the same answer could apply to those attending Jesus' birth.
