Hebrew kings were considered to be sons of God.
​
There are at least two verses of scripture which make this quite clear.
​
1). The LORD comes to King David and says,
​
"Behold, a son shall be born to you; he shall be a man of peace. ... his name shall be Solomon ... He shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish his royal throne in Israel for ever." 1 Chronicles 22:10 RSV
​
These are the same things which were said of Jesus.
​
2). In a psalm (2:7) the LORD says to the king,
​
"You are my son, today I have begotten you." RSV.
​
Which the Living Bible accurately renders:
​
"You are my Son. This is your Coronation Day."
​
Thus, what is generally supposed to be simply a religious question regarding the offspring of deity, is in fact a highly political question which has everything to do with the divine right of kings.
​
Make no mistake, ladies and gentlemen. Christianity does not promote a democratic republic.
​
Remember this: It's King Jesus, NOT President Jesus.

Same word same context same meaning.

Apparently so. Ben is also translated 'children' as in 'Children of Israel.'
​
Perhaps I have missed something. Does this establish a point for you?

One might say that he was "The Father of His Country."
