But what says this woman? Says she, [Have mercy upon me, O Lord, thou Son of David, my daughter is grievously vexed with a Devil.] Have mercy upon me, O Lord, thou son of David. Why does she call him the son of David? and not rather the son of Abraham? and not rather the son of Adam? and not rather the son of Man? (as Christ was often called) why does she here call him the son of David?
But what saies this woman? Saies she, [Have mercy upon me, O Lord, thou Son of David, my daughter is grievously vexed with a Devil.] Have mercy upon me, O Lord, thou son of David. Why does she call him the son of David? and not rather the son of Abraham? and not rather the son of Adam? and not rather the son of Man? (as Christ was often called) why does she here call him the son of David?
We find in Scripture, that Christ and David did often exchange Names. And David your King shall reign over you. 1(A Promise made to the Jews yet to be converted) that is, Christ: David your King (and not Abraham) shall reign over you; but David your King. David was the King of the people of God, and was to feed them: and so Jesus Christ is King of the Church, and feeds the people of God. Abraham was not a King, David a King; and therefore, thou son of David, and not, thou son of Abraham. And then, the Messiah ordinarily among the Jews was called David. And therefore this woman here says, O Lord, thou son of David.
