ieue is the transliteration
and it means He who gives breath

josephus notes the four letters are vowels
 
The four hebrew letters for ieue, individually, mean "He who gives Breath".


“A mitre also of fine linen encompassed his head, which was tied by a blue ribbon, about which there was another golden crown, in which was engraven the sacred name [of the Almighty]: it consists of four vowels.” ——Josephus, 75 AD, The War of the Jews, Book 5. 5. 7.
 
.
David was the beginning of Israel's monarchs (2Sam 7:8-14, 1Chron 22:7-10).
So then, as their paterfamilias, David would normally be superior to them all.

In addition; David holds the rank of firstborn among any and all the monarchs we
could possibly name (Ps 89:20-27) In that position, there would normally be no
human power higher than David's. In point of fact; David was as close to
becoming a divine being as any man has ever been . . until Messiah.

A Psalm Of David: "The Lord says to my lord: Sit at my right hand until I make
your enemies a footstool for your feet." (110:1)

There are two distinctly different Hebrew words translated by the English word
"lord" in that verse.

The first is Jehovah (a.k.a. Yahweh) which is a name restricted to God's use. (Isa
42:8)

The second is 'adown which is a common word for superiors in the Old Testament;
both human and divine, for instance: Sarah referred to her husband as 'adown
(Gen 18:12).The people of Heth addressed Abraham as 'adown (Gen 23:5-6).
Abraham's trusted servant referred to him as 'adown (Gen 24:12). Rachel
addressed her father Laban as 'adown (Gen 31:35). Jacob addressed Esau as
'adown (Gen 33:8). And God is spoken of as 'adown too, e.g. Isa 1:24 and Isa 3:1
et al.

The fact of the matter is: the 'adown in Ps 110:1 is Messiah.

● Matt 22:41-45 . . .While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them:
What do you think about Messiah? Whose son is he? They replied: The son of
David. He said to them: How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him
Lord? For David says: The Lord said to my lord: Sit at my right hand until I put
your enemies under your feet. If then David calls him Lord, how can Messiah be
David's son?

Ps 110:1 presents a quirky theological difficulty. Normally none of David's paternal
descendants outrank him. But here in this Psalm is one of his paternal descendants
that not only outranks him, but is also in a position to rule David as a subject, which
implies that David is no longer God's firstborn among monarchs because the distinction
has been transferred to one of David's sons.

* In scripture; the honor, the privileges, the rights, the responsibilities, and the duties
of primogeniture aren't set in concrete, i.e. they are quite transferrable from a senior
to a junior-- for example Ishmael to Isaac (Gen 20:11-12) Esau to Jacob (Gen 25:23)
Reuben to Joseph (Gen 49:3-4, 1Chr 5:1) Manasseh to Ephraim (Gen 48:13-14) and
of course David to Messiah. (Ps 110:1, Matt 22:42-45)

There is yet one more element to factor in to this discussion. According to Ps 110:1
Messiah is seated at God's right hand, which implies that Messiah has been promoted
to divinity, i.e. he's a divine monarch instead of a normal monarch. Whether Messiah
is intrinsically divine is irrelevant. The thing is: he has the God-given right to be revered
as a divine monarch, even by his father David; who would normally be his son's superior
had his son not attained divinity. (cf. Isa 52:13, Dan 7:13-14, Phil 2:7-11)

The following is from "Know What You Believe" by Paul E. Little written in 1973. He also wrote several other books: "Know Why You Believe", "Know Who You Believe" , "How to Give Away Your Faith".

Jesus was not only fully God - He was also fully man, fully human. If He were not fully human, He could not have represented us on the cross, and He could not be the High Priest who comforts and strengthens us.
If Jesus were not fully God, He could not be our Savior. A perfect life qualified Him to become the sacrificial offering for sin. Old Testament types all insist on the purity of the victim for sacrifice.
Saving faith has always reached out to One who is perfect man and true God.

Even the High Priest knew that to claim to be the Messiah, the Son of God, which Jesus did - was a claim to be God. Matthew 26:63-65 and Mark 14:61-63 Jesus also told him that he would see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. The High Priest in both passages accused Jesus of blasphemy - basically making Himself equal with God - just like the apostle John tells us He did in John 5:18.

If Jesus was not God, then He really was guilty of blasphemy, but since He is God, there is no blasphemy.

FAQ: Did Jesus have God's blood in his flesh instead of human blood?[font]

REPLY: According to Lev 17:11, the life of the flesh is in the blood. Well then, had
there been God's life in Jesus' flesh instead of human life, then Jesus would've
been precluded from inheriting David's throne because Jesus would've failed to
satisfy the biological requirement of Ps 132:11 which says:

"The Lord has sworn in truth unto David; and He will not turn from it: "Of the fruit
of your body will I set upon your throne"

Plus: Acts 2:29-30 & Rom 1:3 would be easily proven false statements.

One of the oldest creeds in the church states that Jesus is fully God and fully Man.
Well that creed would be grossly mistaken if something other than David's life was
in Jesus' flesh. Plus: on numerous occasions Jesus referred to himself as "Son of
Man" which, likewise, would be patently false were David's life not in his flesh.

Matthew 26:63... “that you tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.” What the Jews asked Jesus at his trial, and how Jesus answered, is good evidence that Jesus never claimed to be God and that there is no Trinity. Trinitarians often say that Jesus was claiming to be God, but there is no clear evidence that is true. Here is clear evidence that the priests thought Jesus was claiming to be the Messiah, the Son of God, and they did not think that “Son of God” was in any way equivalent to “God.”

In order for Jesus to be fully man/human he would have to be one of Adam's
paternal descendants, i.e. biologically related to Adam. Not all Christians
are comfortable with that possibility.

Really? Please give scripture to show that that is the case. I don't think you'll find any.

Actually, it only takes one piece of evidence to show that He was fully man - that it, the Bible calls Him a man. Jesus called Himself a man. That's good. We need nothing else.

The apostle John did: John 5:18 This is the apostle John speaking: "For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father (that means the Son of God), making Himself EQUAL with God."
So He was saying that He was equivalent to God.
