What does the Bible say about Jesus as King of the Jews?

In Matthew 2, we see the wise men from the east seeking the one born King of the Jews, indicating the pivotal role Jesus plays in redemptive history. Both David and Solomon serve as types of Christ; David, who faced continual warfare, represents the struggle of Christ against sin and evil. In contrast, Solomon’s peaceful reign illustrates the rest that Christ provides after His victorious battle against sin through the cross, fulfilling God’s promise of a divine kingdom for His people.
