King David was the second Israelite King after King Saul. He was notable in that he was a successful military leader and defeated a number of nearby enemies, including the Philistines who themselves had killed Saul and his son Jonathan.
David was also known as having written over 70 songs or Psalms used in Israelite worship, and being preserved in the book of Psalms. He also in this regard had involvement in organising and sponsoring groups of singers.
Sauls time was not so good, but king Davids and king Solomons period were the best in Jewish history.

King David was the one who, through conquering all the enemies round about, finally ushered in an era of peace, which enabled his son, King Solomon, to build the First Temple.
most people say that his contribution was his death, but they say that because no one ever heard about him that much.after they discovered him they realized his whole life was so important.
Had the Kingdom of Israel not split after the death of King Solomon, the Ten Tribes would be with us today.

King Davids son Solomon succeeded him as king.
David's most important contribution as king of Israel would have to be him defeating the Philistines. This was a very courageous and difficult task that he managed to pull off. King David was a very determined and brave king that wasn't afraid to do whatever it takes to protect and prosper his people. ~Blessings~
