David (Hebrew: דָּוִ(י)ד, Modern Dawid Tiberian Dāwīḏ "beloved", Arabic: داود‎ Dāwud,Dawood) was the second king of the united Kingdom of Israel according to the bible. He is depicted as a righteous king, although not without fault, as well as an acclaimed warrior, musician and poet (he is traditionally credited with the authorship of many of the Psalms). The narrative depicts him throughout his life as conflicted between his ruthless ambition and lusts, and his desire to serve God. The biblical chronology sets his life c.1037–970 BC, his reign over Judah c.1007–1000 BC, and his reign over the united Kingdom of Israel c.1000–970 BC.

The Books of Samuel is the primary source of information on his life and reign; there is little archaeological evidence to confirm the Bible's picture of David (although the Tel Dan stele records the existence in the mid-9th century of a Judean royal dynasty called the "House of David"), but his story has been of immense importance to subsequent Jewish and Christian culture.

What do you think about Christians wearing star of david necklaces?
Q. This girl that goes to my school, well she's Christian. She wore a star of david necklace today, and me, being Jewish found that kind of strange. I mean I wouldn't go around wearing a cross. I'm just wondering, I asked her where she got it and she said she just got it because she thought it was pretty. I thought that was weird, since she's Christian.

A. Many who call themselves Christians are really not. If one who wears the Star of David really is a Christian, then they are naive to its true meaning and all that it entails. the pagan star of david... what does it symbolize? THE "Star of david" -Is it pagan?

How did David have faith in God while running from Saul?
Q. I am doing a project where I have to prove how one person from Hebrews 11 is a Christian. My assignment is to prove how David (while running from Saul) believed in God. I have to have three examples. I have a few ideas, but none are very good.

  • Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: [...] The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.
  • Thou comest to me with a sword, and with A spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
