Answer 1

King David was from the tribe of Judah. For Biblical reference read Ruth 1:1, then 4:17.

Answer 2

David, a descendant of Boaz and Ruth, had an ancestry running back through Perez to Judah. (Ru 4:18-22; Mt 1:3-6)

When we are introduced to David, he is a young shepherd boy with the responsibility of looking after his father's Jesse's sheep. David's family lived in Bethlehem, a little town on the summit and slopes of a ridge in the hills of Judah. Bethlehem, located about 9 km (5.5 mi) SSW of Jerusalem, was David's hometown, the town where his forefathers Jesse, Obed, and Boaz had lived, and which was sometimes called "David's city"
