But what makes David such a significant biblical figure is his role in establishing God’s earthly headquarters in Jerusalem.ĭespite his glaring flaws, the David is described as a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22).
In fact, the famous narrative of “David and Goliath” has been so prolific in literature, art, and culture that it’s become a common trope for describing other stories about underdogs. Today, David is most famous for being the boy who defeated a giant with a slingshot. He’s also mentioned in several other books, and nearly half of the Psalms are attributed to him. He’s the most frequently mentioned human in the Old Testament, and the second most frequently mentioned human in the entire Bible (only Jesus Christ is mentioned more).ĭavid is a main character in the Old Testament books 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles, and 2 Chronicles. King David was a shepherd boy who became Israel’s third and most important king.
