Question 5 of 10

5. The term "Son of David" appears in the story of Bartimaeus, and also in Isaiah 11: 1-3, Jeremiah 23: 5-6 and Ezekiel 34: 23-24. What does the term mean?
Hint

Christians today don't really pay much attention to the Old Testament, so it doesn't matter what the term means.

"Son of David" was simply a polite way of greeting people in the time of Jesus. It would be akin to saying "good morning, sir" in today's world.

"Son of David" means just that. In other words, Bartimaeus was not only blind, but also deranged, and he actually thought Jesus was the son of the David who killed Goliath with a slingshot.

It is a Messianic title used in the Old Testament.
