Chapter one of Mathew begins with the Genealogical line from King David down to Jesus. There are two different genealogy given in the New Testament. One in Matthew and one in Luke. According to the book Jesus the Christ by James E. Talmage the genealogy given in Matthew is Jesus's line of legal Succession. So it is a map of what would have happened to the kingship of Judah if David's line had continued to rule. Thus it is not always Jesus's exact genealogy as you would see it on a family tree, sometimes kingship skips from uncle to nephew.
