Bible Q

Which man is mentioned most often in the Bible? Jesus, Moses, Abraham or David?

Jesus or Jesus Christ is mentioned approximately 968 times.  Christ (without Jesus) is mentioned an additional 286 times (approx).  Making a total of  approximately 1254 times

Moses is mentioned 852 times.

Abraham is mentioned 250 times and Abram 62 times making a total of  312 times.

David is mentioned 1141 times.

So Jesus/Jesus Christ/Christ occurs 113 times more than David.

Of course there are many references in the old testament to Jesus in the types and in the prophecies of the messiah, but I only listed the times the actual names occurred in all cases.

(I didn’t manually count the number of occurrences – I searched using 2 methods and got a discrepancy of 2 in one instance, so these numbers are likely to not be totally accurate)
