Because the Prophecy is that Jesus will sit on David's throne.
The term "David's Throne" does not mean that it belongs to David. It means that the Throne, which belongs to God BTW, the Old Testament teaches that, was a kingship dynasty started through human linage by David. It never belonged to David. David never owned it! The kingship dynasty started by David ends with Christ taking over the throne forever. The throne is not an earthly one, but a Godly one and Christ is sitting on it now.
Acts 2:
[FONT="]29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,[e] 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.[/FONT]
[FONT="]34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:[/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="]‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”’[f][/FONT]
[/FONT]
[FONT="]36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

I pray that God give you understanding.
