The Messiah would be a descendant of King David

Jeremiah 23:5

"The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land.

(New International Version translation)

Bible passage: Jeremiah 23:5
Prophet: Jeremiah
Written: Sometime between 626-586 BC

In Jeremiah 23:5, as well as in other Bible prophecies, we are told that the Messiah will be a descendant of King David.

The books of Matthew and Luke trace back Jesus' geneaology to King David. (Some scholars believe that the geneaology in Matthew is Jesus' legal line, through his adoptive father, Joseph, and that the geneaology in Luke is Jesus' bloodline through Mary).
