King David

Because king Saul was jealous and wanted to kill him.

David fought many wars, throughout which Israel became increasingly prosperous and powerful. You can read about him in the Book of Samuel and the Book of Chronicles, which are in the Jewish Bible, or in Second Kings and First Chronicles, which are in the Christian bible.

Before the death of king David , king David lost two sons of his. One was called Absalom and the other son that died very early in life was the love child of king David and Bathsheba.

Jesus referenced David in several contexts, highlighting his significance in Jewish history. In the Gospels, He pointed out that David called the Messiah "Lord" in Psalm 110, emphasizing the divine authority of the Messiah. Additionally, Jesus noted that David and his companions ate the consecrated bread when they were in need, illustrating His teaching on mercy and the spirit of the law over ritual. Overall, Jesus used David to affirm His own identity and to challenge religious legalism.

Hebrew

King David was a good man, yet his sin before God was one of today's common sins. He had intercourse with a woman who was already married to one of his soldiers and unfortunately, he let the man got killed on an invasion to a city. The Bible didn't mention him being jealous of his brothers even though they underestimated him but maybe he was jealous on some parts though. He was just a human being and subject to human emotions.

Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah

In the Christian tradition, there was never a king who was also a prophet. The Kings, David and Solomon were granted wisdom, but had prophets as their advisers in order to know God's will.

In the Islamic tradition, Hazrat Daud (David) was both a prophet and a king. His son Hazrat Sulaiman (AS) was a King, powerful like him had never been a king before him, and after him has never been and will never be a king-who can rule over Jinns, air, and birds etc.

In Judaism, the Talmud (Megillah 14a) states that there were 48 Israelite prophets, without naming them. The commentaries disagree concerning whom to put on such a list. Rashi's commentary lists King David and King Solomon as being among the prophets (see attached Link), while the Vilna Gaon quotes the Seder Olam who does not include either of the two.

There are many instances of masculine names becoming solely feminine names in later centuries.

Noga has a feminine sounding ending to it.

David was a fierce fighter on the battlefield who showed endurance under hardships, a leader and commander strong and unwavering in courage, yet humble enough to acknowledge his mistakes and repent of his gross sins, a man capable of tender compassion and mercy, a lover of truth and righteousness, and above all, one with implicit trust and confidence in his God Jehovah.

No. This never occurred.

If you follow the line of David, there was an attempt by Zerrubabel, a descendant of the Davidic Line to reestablish a Jewish semi-autonomous Kingdom during the Persian Occupation of Israel (around 540 BCE). However, Zerrubabel could not muster public support in the competition between his attempt to garner this power since he was in competition with Ezra, who created a religious establishment that spoke more to people's sensibilities. His was the only serious attempt to create a Davidic-Line Kingdom after the Babylonian Exile.

If you follow the timeline, from 140 BCE to 37 BCE, there was an independent Jewish State, the Hasmonean Kingdom. It was the only 100% independent Jewish State after the Babylonian Exile (586 BCE) and before the Modern State of Israel in 1948 CE. However, the Hasmonean Kingdom was a Levite Monarchy, which came primarily from the priestly class. As a result, they bore no relation to David (who had been a Judahite).

While David was king of Israel, he won many battles over the Philistines. He brought them under his control. He took Metheg Ammah away from them. David also won the battle over the people of Moab. He made them lie down on the ground. Then he measured them off with a piece of rope. He put two-thirds of them to death. He let the other third remain alive. So the Moabites were brought under David's rule. They gave him the gifts he required them to bring him. David fought against Hadadezer, the son of Rehob. Hadadezer was king of Zobah. He had gone to take back control of the land along the Euphrates River. David captured 1,000 of Hadadezer's chariots, 7,000 chariot riders and 20,000 soldiers on foot. He cut the legs of all but 100 of the chariot horses. The Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. But David struck down 22,000 of them. He stationed some soldiers in the Aramean kingdom of Damascus. The people of Aram were brought under his rule. They gave him the gifts he required them to bring him. The Lord helped David win his battles everywhere he went. David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer. He brought the shields to Jerusalem. He took a huge amount of bronze from Tebah and Berothai. Those towns belonged to Hadadezer. Tou was king of Hamath. He heard that David had won the battle over the entire army of Hadadezer. So Tou sent his son Joram to King David. Joram greeted David. He praised him because he had won the battle over Hadadezer. Hadadezer had been at war with Tou. So Joram brought with him articles that were made out of silver, gold and bronze. King David set those articles apart for the Lord. He had done the same thing with the silver and gold he had taken from the other nations he had brought under his control. Those nations were Edom, Moab, Ammon, Philistia and Amalek. He also set apart for the Lord what he had taken from Hadadezer, the son of Rehob. Hadadezer was king of Zobah. David returned after he had struck down 18,000 men of Edom in the Valley of Salt. He became famous for doing it. He stationed some soldiers all through Edom. The whole nation of Edom was brought under his rule. The Lord helped David win his battles everywhere he went. David ruled over the whole nation of Israel. He did what was fair and right for all of his people. Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was commander over the army. Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, kept the records. Zadok, the son of Ahitub, was a priest. Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, was also a priest. Seraiah was the secretary Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was commander over the Kerethites and Pelethites. And David's sons were royal advisers.

2 Samuel 8:1-18

He united Israel and didn't die in battle.

David was probably born sometime around 1050 B.C. and he died in 970 B.C. He was king in Israel from about 1010 B.C. until his death.

David's father was Jesse, the son of Obed. (Ruth 4:22)
