Greek · HY-os Da-veed
Son of David
υἱὸς Δαυείδ
Son of David — the promised king from David's line who opens blind eyes
Symbol: The blind beggar's cry — 'Son of David, have mercy!' — opening the eyes of faith
“This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham.”
Matthew 1:1
Matthew opens with a genealogy that names Jesus the Son of David — the fulfillment of the promise that David's throne would last forever.
What the name means
Blind Bartimaeus cried 'Son of David, have mercy!' — the title was a Messianic confession that moved Jesus to stop.
The Son of David means the promised King has come — not a politician but the one who fulfills the covenant.
Matthew's genealogy links Jesus to David through Joseph's line — legally heir to the throne.
How to pray this name
- Pray like Bartimaeus: 'Son of David, have mercy on me!' — and expect Him to stop.
- Pray it for healing — the Son of David opened blind eyes.
Son of David, have mercy on me! I cry out and I trust You to stop for me. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
Declaration
Jesus is the Son of David — the promised King who hears the cry of the broken.
