No. According to the Bible, King David was more successful in battles than King Saul. In fact, this became a major issue between the two individuals when the townspeople would say "Saul has killed his thousands, but David has killed tens of thousands."
That description fits King David, since he was a shepherd in his youth (though not as king), and he then became king and conquered the Philistines. See also:More about King David

King David, or just David.
He beat the Philistines one time when was the king but he beat the philistines two times in King Saul's days. That makes it three times in his life.
King Saul began this process with mixed success. Eventually both he and his son Jonathon were killed in battle by the Philistines. The next king David was much more successful and largely subdued them so that by the time of his son Solomon there was peace in the land.
King David.
The leader of the Philistines was usually referred to as a king or ruler. One of the most famous Philistine kings was Goliath, who was defeated by the biblical figure David.
David won Michal's hand in marriage when he fulfilled King Saul's challenge to kill 100 Philistines all by himself. Michal was King Saul's daughter. King Saul hated David because he was jealous of him and was hoping that David would be killed trying to fulfill the King's request. David killed twice the number of Philistines required of the King and so Michal was given to David to be his wife. Ref: (I Samuel 18:26-30).
