According to the Bible,
David is called "Lord" and people prostrated before him.
Then Bathsheba bowed down with her face to the ground, prostrating herself before the king, and said, “May my lord King David live forever!” (1 Kings 1:31)
Many people also prostrated towards him.
Then David said to the whole assembly, “Praise the LORD your God.” So they all praised the LORD, the God of their fathers; they bowed down, prostrating themselves before the LORD and the king. (1 Chronicles 29:20)
When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her donkey and bowed down before David with her face to the ground. (1 Samuel 25:23)
And when Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he fell facedown in reverence. Then David said, “Mephibosheth!” “I am your servant,” he replied. (2 Samuel 9:6)
And the king was told, “Nathan the prophet is here.” So he went before the king and bowed with his face to the ground. (1Kings 1:23)
David is also called the "son of God"!
I will proclaim the LORD’s decree: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father. (Psalm 2:7)
We also read that David's kingdom will last forever!
Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.’” (2 Samuel 7:16)
Of course, that doesn't mean David was God or divine. It just means that he, as representative of God on earth, was being honored by his people. So biblically speaking, it is possible for a mortal man to be called "Lord" and for people to prostrate before him. But that doesn't mean he's God or divine. The same logic has to apply to Jesus as well.
