What is it about?
After the return from the exile the davidic King disapears. The davidic titles are transfered to the descendants of the Patriarchs (Ps 105,15). In Gen 14-15 Abraham makes things like David. The promotion of the Patriarchs is an answer to the problem of the deasapearance of the Davidic dynasty after the return from the exile.
