Δαυείδ G1138
David — king of Israel, ancestor of the Messiah, psalmist; used in titles like 'Son of David' and 'Key of David.'
Daueid (also spelled Dabid in the Received Text) is the indeclinable Greek form of Hebrew David, Israel's paradigmatic king. The name saturates the New Testament in multiple registers: as a historical figure in genealogies (Matt 1:6, 17), as author of the Psalms cited by Jesus and the apostles (Mark 12:36; Acts 2:25; Heb 4:7), and above all as the ancestor whose throne and lineage define messianic expectation. The title 'Son of David' becomes a primary christological designation (Matt 1:1; 9:27; 20:30-31), while 'the key of David' (Rev 3:7) and 'the root of David' (Rev 5:5; 22:16) extend the name into apocalyptic imagery. Every target language — Spanish David, French David, German David — transliterates without variation, reflecting the name's universal recognition.
