You will find the genealogy of Mary in Luke 3:23-38. However, when considering this genealogy, you will see that in verse 23, that 'Jesus was the son of Joseph (as he was so considered by the people - but not biologically connected to him) & Joseph was the son of Heli'. Whereas in Matthew 1:16, we see that Joseph is given as the son of Jacob. Therefore, it is understood that Joseph was the 'son-in-law' of Heli, Mary's father (however, some believe that Heli & Jacob were the same person). If then we accept that Luke's genealogical account of Jesus is through Mary, then when we get closer to King David, we note that this lineage is taken from David through his son Nathan ( Luke 3:31), whereas in Matthew 1:6, it is through David's other son, Solomon, through to Joseph. So both Joseph & Mary are connected to King David.
