If 'EL GIBBOR was not considered a divine title, why is it used of Yahweh
in Isa.10:21? Is this not the only the place (9:5) where this title is
actually applied to a human being? ...


Good question. But is 10:21 actually a reference to YHWH, or could it be to Elgibbor son of Isaiah? The verse includes a pun on the name of his other son Shear-Jashub.
