David was really the son of Jesse.
But in a more far-reaching sense, David was in a direct family line from Abraham.
Abraham had Isaac,
Isaac had Jacob, and
Jacob was the father of twelve sons who became the heads of the twelve tribes of Israel, or the 'Nation of Israel'.
David's line came from Jacob, and went through Judah (one of the twelve sons), so in that sense, he was also a 'son of Jacob' and a 'son of Judah'.
Jews believe King David was a Jew, regardless of ancient destinctions of Hebrew, Israel, and Jew (or and of the 12 Tribes of Israel).
Answer:
To be a Jew meant many things, lived in the land of Judah, to be a convert to Judaism which was not the religion of the Hebrews and some called members of the tribe of Judah Jews after 2nd kings.
King David was born in Judah, and his family were all from the tribe of Ephraim.
Also, in the sense that "Anyone who repudiates idolatry is a Judahite" (Talmud, Megillah 13a), King David may be called a Jew, just as Abraham is. In that sense it's a spiritual title.
God decreed that David should be crowned in Judah. The people of Israel did not initially want what God had requested and sought to make Saul's heir their King whereas the people of Judah crowned David as their king. If was seven years before David was king over all of the people.
Because :
--God chose him and had the prophet Samuel anoint him (1 Samuel 16:1-13).
--The prior king, Saul, turned from the Lord's favor (1 Samuel 15).
--Saul died and the people of Israel accepted David as king (2 Samuel 1-5).
Yes.
King David was an Israelite, specifically of the tribe of Judah. "Hebrews," "Israelites," and "Jews" are sometimes used interchangeably since the Israelites were identical with Hebrews until God changed Jacob's name to Israel (Genesis ch.35), and the Jews (people of Judea; Judah) are among the Israelites (descendants of Jacob).
Also, in the sense that "Anyone who repudiates idolatry is a Judahite" (Talmud, Megillah 13a), early Israelites may be called Jews, just as Abraham is. In that sense it's a spiritual title.No, David was the second king of Israel. Saul was the first.

I'd say David but it could be SolomonAnswer:Since the question says "become," the answer is King David.
Solomon is noted for many things. Theyare his wisdom, The building of the temple and being a son of david the greatest king of Isareal.
A:The biblical answer would be David, who created a great empire, or perhaps Solomon. However, historians now believe that the was no United Monarchy as described in the Bible, and that Saul, David and Solomon were more likely just local chieftains whose statures grew with the telling of legends surrounding them. The greatest king of Israel would have been either Omri or his son Ahab, although later biblical tradition seeks to tarnish their reputations. Answer:Solomon was the greatest King of Israel! 2 Samuel 2 explains the change from King David to King Solomon. Solomon became King over Israel in the year 971 B.C. Although Solomon was young, he soon became known for his wisdom -- and he was loved by the people of Israel. Solomon got his wisdom from God; God told him he could ask for one thing and Solomon asked for a discerning heart to guide and judge between right and wrong for the people. The LORD was pleased with Solomon so he gave him a wise and discerning heart, He also gave him both riches and honor -- there was no equal King during the time of Solomon. There had never been anyone like King Solomon, and never will be. Solomon built The Holy Temple for the LORD; it took him seven years to complete. Solomon is portrayed as a man full of great in wisdom, wealth, and power, but ultimately as a king whose sin, including idolatry and turning away from God, lead to the kingdom of Israel being torn in two during the reign of his son Rehoboam-- causing the Divided Kingdom. King Solomon, son of King David, was known for his wisdom, obedience, leadership abilities, his power, his wealth, and his writings.Answer:King David is said to be the greatest of Israel's Kings as Jesus is to inherit the 'Throne of David' and the 'Key of David' is vital to prophecy.Answer:According to the Bible, David was the greatest king of Israel.According to many archaeologists and scholars, many of the achievements traditionally attributed to David should rightfully be credited to King Omri of Israel.
