If establishing Jesus'  claim to the  throne of David  was  important,
and  if  this claim  was   so important, why    did Pilate,  have  rex
iudaeorum (Herod the Great's title in Latin) rather than rex  israelis
(David's title in Latin) inscribed on the cross of execution (I may
have misunderstood the account and the actual inscription may have
been in Greek but the actual language is not important)?
