David デビッド、デイビッド

意味:この名前はへブル語のדוד ダビデ(ラテン語では“DVD”と表記)から来ています。旧約聖書では、ダビデはイスラエルの二代目の、そして最も偉大な王です。彼は正義の王であり、巨大なペリシテ人ゴリアテを石で打ち負かした賞賛された戦士であり、また詩篇のたくさんの詩を作り出した詩人として認められています。

広い方面で賞賛されていたダビデですが、それでも完璧な人生を歩んだわけではありませんでした。ヒッタイト(ヘト人)のウリヤの妻、バテシバの美貌のとりこになり、ダビデは、その不倫の罪を隠すためにウリヤを戦いの前線に送ります。ウリヤが戦死すると、彼はバテシバと結婚します。けれども、後年、預言者ナタンがダビデの罪を告発したとき、悔い改めます。 イエスキリストは、このダビデの血縁で直系であると信じられています。
