The NT proof that Christ was Messiah and the Gospel and the new David is in Isaiah. Acts 13's sermon quotes Isaiah showing God saying he would give the promises of David to Christ. But before that, in Acts 2, we have:
David was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that (God) would place one of his descendants on his throne. Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ.v30-31.
This matches what Acts 13's punchline is: that the resurrection is the fulfillment of God's promises to the fathers. It proves that a person can be justified from their sins because Jesus was the perfect life and sacrifice. It also warrants the coming of the Spirit to go with God's mission to the nations.
That's why "David's raised fallen tent" of Acts 15 is the incoming of the nations to believe the Gospel that is happening at the time. That's what the promises where and how they got shifted to Christ.
