Royal Family in the Bible

The concept of a royal family in the Bible primarily refers to the lineage of kings, particularly the Davidic line, which is significant in both the Old and New Testaments, culminating in the person of Jesus Christ, the King of Kings.

The royal family in Israel began with Saul, the first king, but was solidified under David, whose reign marked a high point in Israel's history. The Davidic line was crucial for Jewish identity and messianic expectations.
