Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1138: Δαυίδ (Dauid) • The Greek transliteration of David, used in the New Testament to refer to the same historical and theological figure, emphasizing his role in the lineage of Jesus Christ and his significance in biblical prophecy and fulfillment.

Usage: David is a proper noun used to refer to the second king of Israel, a central figure in the Hebrew Bible, known for his leadership, psalms, and covenant with God. He is a key ancestor of Jesus Christ in the New Testament.

Context: David is one of the most prominent figures in the Bible, known for his multifaceted role as a shepherd, warrior, king, and poet. He was the youngest son of Jesse, from the tribe of Judah, and was anointed by the prophet Samuel to succeed Saul as king of Israel (1 Samuel 16:1-13). David's early life was marked by his victory over Goliath, the Philistine giant, which established his reputation as a formidable warrior (1 Samuel 17:45-50).

As king, David united the tribes of Israel and established Jerusalem as the political and spiritual center of the nation. His reign is noted for its military conquests, expansion of the kingdom, and the establishment of a centralized government. Despite his successes, David's life was also marked by personal failures and family strife, including his adultery with Bathsheba and the subsequent turmoil within his household (2 Samuel 11-12).

David is credited with composing many of the Psalms, which express a wide range of emotions and themes, from praise and worship to lament and repentance. His deep relationship with God is evident throughout these writings, and he is often referred to as "a man after God's own heart" (1 Samuel 13:14).

The Davidic Covenant, a key theological concept, promises that David's descendants would rule Israel forever, a promise Christians believe is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is often called the "Son of David" (2 Samuel 7:12-16; Matthew 1:1).
