Davidic

Davidic refers to people, institutions, or ideas associated with King David and the royal line traced to him. In the Hebrew Bible, the Davidic dynasty is portrayed as a lasting framework for understanding kingship, tied to covenantal promises about continuity, rule, and stability. Davidic language is applied to kings who claim descent from David, to political legitimacy rooted in his house, and to later expectations that proper leadership would be restored through this lineage. Across different periods, “Davidic” functions as a way of preserving memory, defining authority, and shaping hope by anchoring them in the figure of David and his dynasty.
