King David

Yes, David met Abigail prior to his reign in Hebron. The meeting and marriage to Abigail is detailed in 1 Samuel 25, before the death of Saul and David's reign in Hebron (which is detailed in 2 Samuel 2).

David of Mesopotamia is very important to Jewish, Christian, and Islamic culture. In the bible, he is the king of the Israelites and Jewish people. According to biblical tradition, his decent is Messiah. In Islam he is considered to be a prophet and king of the nation. In the Book of Psalms he is famous for some of the Psalms written. As king, David formed the kingdom of Israel by uniting the Hebrew tribes.

Saul seemed to realize that God had chosen David as his replacement, but contrary to Saul's belief David never planned any sort of rebellion, only fleeing from Saul when he attacked. In fact, on two occasions David had a chance to kill Saul (once when he was sleeping, once when they were in a dark cave where Saul could not see him) but refused, claiming that Saul was still God's anointed and thus inviolable. When Saul was killed by an Amalekite David had the perpetrator killed.

No. Xerxes II was king of Persia in 424 BCE. Scholars are uncertain whether David was legendary or a real, historical person, but the Bible suggests he ruled Israel early in the tenth century BCE - almost 600 years earlier.

King david is said to have ruled c.1000BC This period is known in ancient Egyptian history as the Third Inermediate Period (1076-712BC). Inermediate periods are times of confusion when no king rules over the whole of Egypt. It is of interest to note that in this period the Egyptians lost control of Palestine.

After Solomon, the nation of Israel split in two. Solomon's son, Rehoboam, ruled over the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin(1 Kings 11:43), and Jeroboam ruled over the remaining ten tribes.

David. Which means either "beloved" or "officer," depending on which root you think it comes from. His actual name was Elhanan.

1) King David authored/compiled the book of Psalms and gave it to us in its present form (Talmud, Bava Batra 14b). The Psalms (Tehillim), which we might call the soul of the Jewish people, express the yearning of King David and of the entire nation to be close to God. They are one of the foundations of our prayerbook to this day.

2) King David was the one who finally succeeded in subduing all of the surrounding nations (see 2 Samuel ch.8 and ch.10) plus the entire territory of Israel, something which no one else did previously or subsequently. He succeeded in all his endeavors (1 Samuel 16:18).

3) He secured from the prophet Nathan a promise from God that his (David's) son Solomon would build the Holy Temple (2 Samuel ch.7). The First Temple is actually considered the accomplishment of David himself (Rashi commentary, Berakhot 18a), since it existed in his merit (Sefer Torat Chaim, commenting on Talmud, Shabbat 30a).

4) He set the blueprints, with Divine inspiration, for the Holy Temple (1 Chronicles 28:19). Together with the prophet Samuel, he located the spot where the Temple would be built (Talmud, Zevachim 54b); and he dug the foundations for the Temple (Talmud, Sukkah 53a).

5) He amassed vast amounts of material and precious metals for the construction of the Temple (1 Chronicles ch.29).

6) Together with Samuel, he instituted the 24 groupings of families of Kohanim and Levites (Talmud, Taanit 27a).

7) He served God all the days of his life (1 Kings 11:38); and God was with him (1 Samuel 16:18).

8) He was without peer in clarifying and applying the halakhot (laws) of the Oral Tradition (Talmud, Sanhedrin 93b).

9) King David serves as the archetype of the effectiveness of repentance (Talmud, Avodah Zarah 4b).

The Latin Kings have a huge effect on the Humbolt Park area. Even bigger than most people would like to believe. The fact that they rule that area and control it show how powerful they are against the law. They can make anyone living in that area not talk. If the people are scared of being in danger because they are threatened by the Latin Kings and Queens, that is a problem because the law cannot give them the protection that others can.

David slew Goliath, built a mighty empire, he wanted to build the famous temple, but god did not want him to do it as he had blood on his fingers.

-----------------------

The Books of Kings are believed to have been written during the reign of King Josiah of Judah, during the seventh century BCE, and with his authorisation. They present the legendary ancestors of King Josiah in a glorious light, with David slaying the mighty Goliath and Solomon as the wisest king there ever was.

The two Books of Chronicles provide a history that more or less parallels the Deuteronomic history, but presents the priestly point of view. It covers Kings David and Solomon, but here the priests and prophets are more important than in the earlier accounts. Some of the more improbable passages in the Deuteronomic History were altered or omitted, as were some references to the polytheistic past. The story of David slaying Goliath was entirely omitted. The various attempted coups against David were omitted, and the succession of Solomon was attributed to God rather than to political necessity.

King David uncovered himself to his handmaids and servants. 2 Samuel 6:20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! He and Saul have a contest to see who can kill the most people for God, "Saul has killed his thousands, and David his tens of thousands." 1Samuel 18:6-7 . He kills 200 Philistines and brings their foreskins to Saul to buy his first wife (Saul's daughter Michal). 1 Samuel 18:25=27. He "smote the land and left neither man nor woman alive." 1 SAmuel 27:8-11. He kills Goliath with his sling, beheads him, and carries the head back to Jerusalem. 1 Sam 17:51-57He acts like he's crazy, scribbles on the gates of Gath, and lets spit run down his beard. All this he did in front of Israel's enemies in the hopes that they would take him in and protect him from Saul. 1 Sam 21:12. He "inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the Lord said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines ... So David smote them with a great slaughter." 1 Samuel 23;2. He vows to kill "any that pisseth against the wall." 1 Samuel 25:22. He had many) wives. 1 Samuel 30. He tells one of his "young men" to kill the Amalekite messenger who claimed to have mercifully killed Saul at Saul's own request. 2 Samuel 1:15. He says that whoever kills the lame and the blind will be his "chief and captain." 2 Sam.5:8. He asks God if he should kill some more Philistines. God says yes, and he'll even help. So David and God "smote the Philistines" again. 2 Samuel 5:19. He dances nearly naked in front of God and everybody. Michal criticizes him for it and God punishes her by having "no child unto the day of her death." 2 Sam.6:14, 20-22. He kills two thirds of the Moabites and makes the rest slaves. He also cripples the captured horses. 2 Samuel 8:2. He kills and tortures thousands of people, "and the Lord preserved David withersoever he went." 2 Samuel 8;6. He sees a woman (Bathsheba) bathing and likes what he sees. so he sends for her and commits adultery with her "for she was purified from her uncleanness." She conceives and bears a son (which God later kills to punish David). 2 Samuel 11:2. He tells Joab (his captain) to send Bathseba's husband (Uriah) to "the forefront of the hottest battle ... that he may be smitten and die." In this way, David gets another wife. 2 Samuel 11:15. He saws, hacks, and burns to death all the inhabitants of several cities. 2 Samuel 12;31, 1 Chron 20:1. He shows unusual restraint and "went not in unto his concubines." Instead, he imprisons them as a punishment for being raped by David's son, Absalom. 2 Samuel 20:3. To appease God and end the famine that was caused by his predecessor (Saul), David agrees to have seven of Saul's sons killed and hung up "unto the Lord." 2 Samuel 21:6.Old King David tries to get some heat by having a beautiful virgin minister unto him. 1 Kings 1;1. In David's last words, he commands his son Solomon to murder Joab. I Kings 2:5-9

King david's weakness was Bethsheba who he had broken up her family and had her husband sent off to be killed.

No

I thought you was gonnna tell me dude!

There are several men who did this. Probably the one who did this most often was his Chief Prophet, Nathan.

David was King in Hebron for several years until the death of Saul. During that time, Saul pursued him intermittently, believing that David threatened his (Saul's) monarchy. At one point, David had to hole up in the territory of the Philistine King Achish. When Achish's men wanted to kill David, he pretended to be insane and they let him be.

No he did not have ason with this name.

King David, in essence, represented the ideal Christian. He was even called "a man after God's own heart". If you look at his life and see the mistakes he made, he was always there to be corrected and to own up to his mistakes. He showed that it doesn't take a perfect person to be a child of God, but rather an imperfect person because it gives God something to shape and mold. He was the symbol of letting God change a person, even through their screw-ups.
