I think that tat 14 is his last number when he joined the American Idol 36214 and he started his TOUR Feb. 14 maybe that is his lucky number. He has that SP.

he didnt start the tour the 14th. he started it the 13th in tallahassee fl.

Maybe the 14 has something to do with one of his pre AI albums? I remember seeing a video on youtube when he was talking during a show about giving away or selling something like 1,400 cd's in Tulsa. Then he said something like"14? hmmm maybe I should get that tattooed!" Does anyone remember seeing this?

I haven't heard that before. I think it's kinda cool. I thought it could be songs on DCTR, but there's 15 (including the 2 bonus songs)or 16 if you count TOML, 14 if you don't count KOTN seperate or count TOML. Very interesting to pick at, wondering what it is. He'll have to explain it eventually, I believe. Adam's bday could have been the 14th of the month.

Soo, I did some research and this is what I came up with...

David the musician:
In various biblical passages, David is referred to as “the favorite of the songs of Israel,” the one who soothed Saul with music, and the founder of Temple singing. A Psalms scroll from the Dead Sea Scrolls (11QPsa) attributes 3600 tehilim (songs of praise) plus other compositions to David. Seventy-three of the 150 Psalms in the Bible are attributed to David. The supreme kingship of Yahweh is the most pervasive theological concept in the book of Psalms, and many psalms attributed to David are directed to Yahweh by name, whether in praise or petition, suggesting a relationship. According to the Midrash Tehillim, King David was prompted to the Psalms by the Holy Spirit that rested upon him.

In addition to ascribing authorship to David, several Psalms are identified with specific events in David’s life. Psalm 34 is attributed to David on the occasion of his escape from the Abimelech (king) Achish by pretending to be insane. According to the narrative in 1 Samuel 21, instead of killing the man who had exacted so many casualties from him, Abimelech allows David to depart, exclaiming, “Am I so short of madmen that you have to bring this fellow here to carry on like this in front of me? Must this man come into my house?" Psalm 34 is one of seven acrostic Psalms in the original Hebrew; most English translations do not retain the acrostic form. The first part of Psalm 34 is directed toward Yahweh in complete and humble gratitude (David does not even mention his own royal status); the second part confidently directs others to Yahweh.

Genealogy
According to Ruth 4:18-22, David is the tenth generation descendant from Judah, the fourth son of the patriarch Jacob (Israel). The genealogical line runs as follows: Judah → Pharez → Hezron → Ram → Amminadab → Nahshon → Salmon → Boaz (the husband of Ruth) → Obed → Jesse → David.

The New Testament traces the genealogy of Jesus back to David and Abraham, with three blocks of fourteen "generations" each being similarly schematic. In the ancient world each letter of the alphabet had a numerical value, the value for the name "David" being fourteen: the fourteen "generations" thus underscored Christ's Davidic descent and his identity as the expected Messiah.
