Biography
The youngest son of Jesse, David was anointed as king while still a shepherd boy. He gained fame by defeating the Philistine giant Goliath and became a skilled warrior and musician in King Saul's court. After Saul's death, David united Israel and established Jerusalem as its capital. Despite his sins (notably with Bathsheba), David was called 'a man after God's own heart' and received God's promise that the Messiah would come from his lineage.
David established Jerusalem and the monarchy that would culminate in Jesus Christ, the 'Son of David.' His psalms have been the prayer book of God's people for millennia.
