The Son of David must be born in David's city. Out of Bethlehem, said the prophet, "shall He come forth ... that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity." Micah 5:2, margin. "And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come forth a Governor, Which shall be Shepherd of My people Israel." Matthew 2:6, R.V. 698

Davids søn skulle fødes i Davids by. Profeten sagde med henblik på Betlehem: "Af dig skal udgå mig én til at være hersker i Israel. Hans udspring er fra fordum, fra evigheds dage." Mika 5,1.
