The title "Son of God" is bestowed on other historical figures like Jacob and Solomon; but the Son of man title is claimed only by Jesus.

The term "throne" is used both literally and metonymically in the Hebrew Bible.. As a symbol for kingship, the throne is seen as belonging to David, or to God Himself.
