Who became king of israelites after David?

Answer 1

A:According to The Bible, the Israelites demanded a king and as a result Saul was appointed as king of a united monarchy of all Israel. He was followed by Kings David and Solomon.

Lester L Grabbe (Ancient Israel: What Do We Know and How Do We Know It?) says there is sufficient evidence to assert that Saul, David and Solomon existed, but that some early passages in the Bible such as 1 Samuel 22:6 (which describes Saul as holding court under a tree, not in a palace or even a long-house) point to Saul as merely a tribal chieftain. Scholarly views are divided as to whether even David and Solomon could be considered kings in the traditional sense, or as local chieftains or warlords. Grabbe's emphatic view is that if indeed there was a United Monarchy, it was not as the Bible pictures it.

It is now becoming the consensus of historians that there was no United Monarchy of Israel. On this view, Saul, David, and Solomon might have been local warlords in the Judah region, but not even kings with undisputed power in a united Judah. H M Niemann (cited in English by Grabbe) has argued that Omri was the first king of Israel, in the ninth century BCE and only in the northern kingdom, a view that is currently attracting considerable attention among historians.

Answer 2

When Saul was disobedient to Almighty God, Samuel was sent to anoint the next king, David.

1 Samuel 13:14 (NIV)

But now your kingdom will not endure; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you have not kept the Lord's command."

The prophet Samuel was sent to anoint the next future king .

1 Samuel 16:11-13 (NIV)

11 So he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?" "There is still the youngest," Jesse answered. "He is tending the sheep." Samuel said, "Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives."

12 So he sent for him and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the Lord said, "Rise and anoint him; this is the one."

13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David. Samuel then went to Ramah.
