CynicalBear: "Who is the King of Israel from the lineage of David?"

The correct translation in Isaiah 44:6 for those various names of God is:

All of these are names of God, not a Davidic king of Israel.

OT naming conventions were very important and very meaningful. Remember that Israel, the people, rejected Yahweh being their melek. They wanted human kings like all the other countries. Think of the foreshadowning to when Jesus came in the flesh and the remnant, Judah, rejected their Savior. That Isaiah verse is pregnant with meaning.
