David
Personal name: David. Primarily the prominent Israelite royal figure, the youngest son of Jesse from Bethlehem, who became king over Israel. The name also appears as a dynastic title (the 'house of David') referring to his descendants on the throne. In non-personal usages, it rarely functions separately from the historical individual or his dynastic legacy.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1732-02
David
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (personal name). |
| Rendering Rationale | Although derived from the root meaning "to love" or "beloved," דָּוִד functions in biblical Hebrew strictly as a proper personal name. A root-faithful rendering therefore preserves it as "David," reflecting its fixed onomastic usage rather than translating it as a common noun. |
