Best Answer

David can be דוד or דויד. The yud just adds clarity when writing without vowels because דוד can also be the word Dod (uncle) or Dud (water tank).

Why is King David's name usually spelled in Hebrew 'dalet vav dalet' but in Chronicles it is spelled 'dalet vav yud dalet' What does the additional yud signify?

General answer: In the Hebrew Alephbet (alphabet) the letter dalet corresponds to the English letter 'D'. The vav is a letter 'V.' The extra yud is a vowel adding the long 'e' sound in 'David,' pronounced 'dah-veed'. The dalet, vav, yud, dalet is the correct spelling for the name David.Jewish answer:The entire purpose of the Book of Chronicles is to concentrate on King David (Rashi commentary, ibid) and his dynasty. The extra letter is a way of honoring him, by grammatically "filling out" his name. This spelling is used nowhere except in Chronicles, neither in the Hebrew Bible nor the Rabbinic writings. It constitutes a unique honorific-version, and is no more "correct" than the usual spelling.
