It was important for King David to unite the tribes of Israel to establish a strong and cohesive nation, which was crucial for political stability and military strength against external threats. A united Israel could effectively consolidate resources, enforce laws, and promote a shared identity among the tribes, fostering loyalty and reducing internal conflicts. Additionally, unification under David’s rule allowed for the establishment of Jerusalem as the political and spiritual center, reinforcing the nation's unity and enhancing its significance in biblical history.

The twelve tribes were the twelve sons of Israel and began united. Against God's will, they disunited in the reign after the death of King Solomon with 10 tribes becoming the Northern Kingdom called Israel with its capital of Samaria and Judah and Benjamin, with many of Simeon becoming the Southern Kingdom called Judah with its capital of Jerusalem. The modern nation-state called Israel today is in reality Judah as they were allowed to return 70 years after they were captives of the Babylonians circa 586 B.C.. Judah had the 'Sceptre Promise' which was fulfilled by Jesus. They were also responsible to faithfully keep the 'oracles of God' for incorporation into the Old Testament writing. The 12 physical tribes are prophecized to re-unite in the Millennial Rule of Christ and is spoken about by the prophets - especially Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Zechariah (though most all refer to this great future event).
