David in the Bible

David is anointed as a shepherd boy, kills Goliath, spends years as a fugitive from Saul, and unites the tribes with his capital at Jerusalem. The covenant promising him an everlasting throne, and the psalms attributed to him, make his name the one the New Testament reaches for when it calls Jesus 'son of David'.
