Definitions:

(1) (King David)
second king of Israel in the Old Testament, who united the kingdom and made Jerusalem its capital (c. 1000-962 BCE)

As a young shepherd, David famously killed the giant Philistine warrior Goliath with a stone from his sling. He later became king around 1000 BC, expanded Israel’s power, and established Jerusalem as its political and religious center. Many of the Psalms in the Bible are traditionally attributed to him.
