That is how genealogy works sometimes.

because every single person related to everyone mentioned in the biblical times are mostly irrelavant to what we need in the faith... no one cares about King Davids father, mother, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, brother, sister, neighbor, babysitter, dog, cat, and the pigeon that had a nest in his window....

Many verses were left out due to budgeting. 
The last time that the Bible was slated to be 
edited and modified so that it could support 
its own narrative in this modern-day world, 
the water cooler and the copier went on the fritz. 
Damn the timing.

There's really no reason to.  Not being sarcastic or anything.  There really was no reason to mention him overmuch.
