A:Little is known about King David. The Deuteronomic History (Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings) was written as far removed in time from King David as a modern history would be removed from King Arthur. The Books of Chronicles were written centuries after the first history and provide a rather different account again.

Lester L Grabbe (Ancient Israel) says there is sufficient evidence to assert that Saul, David and Solomon existed but that if anything resembling a united Israel - a territorial state - came about under David, it would be unusual. He says that it seems unlikely that David controlled anything beyond a limited territory centred on the southern hill country and Jerusalem.
