H. Daniel Zacharias presents a literary-critical analysis of the
Gospel of Matthew and its interaction with Davidic tradition and
use of Davidic typology. Throughout the narrative, the evangelist
makes pervasive use of Davidic tradition from the Old Testament in
his portrayal of Jesus. This begins from the first verse and the
declaration that Jesus is the Son of David, and culminates in
Jesus' usage of Psalm 22's Davidic lament on the cross. Davidic
material is present throughout Matthew, in allusion, in specific
citations, in thematic material. In addition, Matthew makes use of
Davidic typology numerous times, with David as type and Jesus as
anti-type. Zacharias shows how the use of Davidic material presents
to the reader a scripturally-grounded redefinition of what it means
for Jesus to be the Son of David: not as a violent militant leader,
as some expected, but as a physical descendant of David, a healing
shepherd, and a humble king. Within the Gospel, Matthew utilizes
Davidic typology to show how the Son of David even has similar
experiences as his royal predecessor. Even David's own words from
the psalms are utilized as testimony to the legitimacy of Jesus as
the Davidic Messiah.
