Who he was

David, the son of Jesse from Bethlehem, was a prominent figure in the Old Testament and is mentioned extensively throughout the Bible. He was anointed by Samuel to be king over Israel, succeeding Saul (1 Samuel 16:13). David first gained fame as a young man by defeating the Philistine giant Goliath with a sling and a stone (1Samuel 17).

David's reign as king was marked by military successes, as he defeated the enemies of Israel and expanded the kingdom (2Samuel 8). He is known for his devotion to God and is called "a man after God's own heart" (1 Samuel 13:14; Acts 13:22). Many of the psalms in the Bible are attributed to David, reflecting his deep faith and trust in God (e.g., Psalms 3, 23, 51).

However, David's life was not without flaws. He committed adultery with Bathsheba and orchestrated the death of her husband, Uriah (2Samuel 11). As a result, David faced consequences, including the death of his child and turmoil within his family (2Samuel 12-18).

Despite his failings, David remained a central figure in Israel's history and a model of repentance and faith. He was promised an enduring dynasty, and the Messiah would come from his lineage (2 Samuel 7:12–16). This prophecy was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is called the "Son of David" (Matthew 1:1; Romans 1:3).

David's life and reign are recorded in 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles, and portions of 1 Kings. His significance extends into the New Testament, where he is mentioned in connection with Jesus' lineage and messianic identity (Matthew 1:1; Luke 1:32; Acts 13:22–23; Revelation 22:16).

1 Samuel 16:13Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the middle of his brothers. Then Yahweh’s Spirit came mightily on David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.1 Samuel 16:19Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, “Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.”1 Samuel 16:20Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a container of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by David his son to Saul.1 Samuel 16:21David came to Saul and stood before him. He loved him greatly; and he became his armor bearer.1 Samuel 16:22Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.”1 Samuel 16:23When the spirit from God was on Saul, David took the harp and played with his hand; so Saul was refreshed and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.1 Samuel 17:12Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons.

Yahweh will…1 Samuel 17:38Saul dressed David with his clothing. He put a helmet of bronze on his head, and he clad him with a coat of mail.1 Samuel 17:39David strapped his sword on his clothing and he tried to move, for he had not tested it. David said to Saul, “I can’t go with these, for I have not tested them.” Then David took them off.1 Samuel 17:41The Philistine walked and came near to David; and the man who bore the shield went before him.1 Samuel 17:42When the Philistine looked around and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and had a good looking face.1 Samuel 17:43The Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” The Philistine cursed David by his gods.1 Samuel 17:44The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and to the animals of the field.”1 Samuel 17:45Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of Armies, the God of the armies of Israel, whom…1 Samuel 17:48When the Philistine arose, and walked and came near to meet David, David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.1 Samuel 17:49David put his hand in his bag, took a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.1 Samuel 17:50So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David’s hand.1 Samuel 17:51Then David ran, stood over the Philistine, took his sword, drew it out of its sheath, killed him, and cut off his head with it.

It was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.1 Samuel 18:6As they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy…1 Samuel 18:7The women sang to one another as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”1 Samuel 18:8Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him.

Saul had his spear in his…1 Samuel 18:11and Saul threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.1 Samuel 18:12Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, and had departed from Saul.1 Samuel 18:14David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Yahweh was with him.1 Samuel 18:16But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.1 Samuel 18:17Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Yahweh’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but…1 Samuel 18:18David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”1 Samuel 18:19But at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.1 Samuel 18:20Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.1 Samuel 18:21Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.

2 Samuel 1:1After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,2 Samuel 1:2on the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and earth on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the earth and showed respect.2 Samuel 1:3David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”2 Samuel 1:4David said to him, “How did it go? Please tell me.” He answered, “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are…2 Samuel 1:5David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”2 Samuel 1:11Then David took hold of his clothes and tore them; and all the men who were with him did likewise.2 Samuel 1:13David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”2 Samuel 1:14David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy Yahweh’s anointed?”2 Samuel 1:15David called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and cut him down!” He struck him so that he died.2 Samuel 1:16David said to him, “Your blood be on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain Yahweh’s anointed.’”2 Samuel 1:17David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son2 Samuel 2:1After this, David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?” Yahweh said to him, “Go up.” David said, “Where shall I go up?” He said, “To Hebron.”2 Samuel 2:2So David went up there with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.2 Samuel 2:3David brought up his men who were with him, every man with his household. They lived in the cities of Hebron.2 Samuel 2:4The men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, “The men of Jabesh Gilead were those who buried Saul.”2 Samuel 2:5David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, “Blessed are you by Yahweh, that you have shown this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him.2 Samuel 2:10Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years.

David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.2 Samuel 3:21Abner said to David, “I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires.”…2 Samuel 3:22Behold, David’s servants and Joab came from a raid and brought in a great plunder with them; but Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.2 Samuel 3:26When Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David didn’t know it.2 Samuel 3:28Afterward, when David heard it, he said, “I and my kingdom are guiltless before Yahweh forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.2 Samuel 3:31David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn in front of Abner.” King David followed the bier.2 Samuel 3:35All the people came to urge David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread or anything else, until the sun goes down.”2 Samuel 4:8They brought the head of Ishbosheth to David to Hebron, and said to the king, “Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul, your enemy, who sought your life!

David built around from Millo and inward.2 Samuel 5:10David grew greater and greater, for Yahweh, the God of Armies, was with him.2 Samuel 5:11Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.2 Samuel 5:12David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.2 Samuel 5:13David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.2 Samuel 5:17When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.2 Samuel 5:19David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” Yahweh said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines…2 Samuel 5:20David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “Yahweh has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.” Therefore he called the name of that place Baal…2 Samuel 5:21They left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
