Is there anyone alive from the line of David?

Answer 1

A family tree really does look like an upside-down tree, with increasing numbers of descendants with each passing generation. The New Testament makes much of Jesus' supposed descent from David, as proof that he was destined for greatness. However scholars say that at that time, some two million Jews could probably have claimed descent from David. With the passing of a further two thousand years, the proportion of Jews who could claim descent from David has probably grown, even allowing for conversions to Judaism. The only doubt is whether there ever really was a King David at all.

Another side:

According to The Bible, the Messiah (the seed) would come through the line of Abraham (Genesis 12:3; Acts 3:25; Galatians 3:16), this line would continue through David and down through both Mary and Joseph. Genealogy was one of the many sources of proof that Jesus was the prophesied Messiah. Up until his coming, genealogy was very important for that reason, and records were kept very carefully (Matthew 1:1-16)(Luke 3:23-38). At the destruction of Jerusalem in 70CE, all genealogical records were destroyed, so, as mentioned, there may be some with a distant connection genealogically, but there is now NO proof of lineage to any of the tribes of Israel.

Answer 2

In the list of Kings of Judah, all of them were descendants or David. The line is:

David, Salomon, Rehoboam, Abijam, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, Ahaziah, Athaliah, Joash (descended from both the House of David and the House of Omri.), Amaziah, Azariah also known as Azariah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasseh, Amon, Josiah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim also known as Jehoikim and Zedekiah.

People who claim that are from the line, can't prove it name by name.

Answer 3

There are a number of Jewish families who trace themselves to King David.
