Best Answer

If King David was a real person who ruled at the very beginning of the tenth century BCE, he might have spoken a form of proto-Hebrew, which would have been no more than a dialect of the parent Canaanite language. Hebrew, as a separate language, is believed to have developed no earlier than about 900 BCE.

* Hebrew

* David never spoke Hebrew because Hebrew did not exist until the exile into Babylon. When Jews were in Babylon they made up Hebrew. David spoke Syriac, Egyptian and another Caananite language. Syriac is the same as Aramaic, the language of Yeshua (Christ).

A:

It would be impossible for David to have spoken Aramaic, since this did not emerge as a distinct language until perhaps two hundred years after the time attributed to David. He would have spoken a very early form of the Hebrew language.

Yes, as is abundantly clear from the Book of Psalms.Note:

For some decades, academic scholars have claimed that many psalms were written several centuries after King David. They stated this for theoretical reasons. Recent analysis, however, makes it clear that the language, style, genre and phraseology of the Psalms is much more ancient than had been claimed. (Buttenwieser, Moses: The Psalms, Chronologically Treated with a New Translation. Also: Dahood, Mitchell, Psalms; The Anchor Bible.)
