He became king at the age of 30 and reigned for 40 years. He was chosen by [[God]] to be king because he was found to be a man after God’s own heart.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Acts+13%3A22&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3|title=Acts 13:22|quote=}}</ref><br>He is remembered as the greatest king in Israel, who loved God with all his heart. He is an incomparable and ideal king who established a strong dynasty in the history of Israel. Under the faith in [[Jehovah|God Jehovah]], he united the [[Twelve Tribes|twelve tribes]] of Israel, which used to be at feud with one another, as one nation and he appointed Jerusalem as the capital. By expanding its military power, he achieved a reign of peace with no invasions from foreign forces. The history of his reign is described in detail in the [[book of 2 Samuel]] and the [[book of 1 Chronicles]] 11–29 of the Bible. | ||
After [[Solomon]], son of David, Israel was divided into north and south and there were frequent invasions from foreign countries, which gave the Jews a desire for a powerful [[Messiah]] like David. Many prophecies in the [[Old Testament]] described the Messiah, who would appear later, as King David. | After [[Solomon]], son of David, Israel was divided into north and south and there were frequent invasions from foreign countries, which gave the Jews a desire for a powerful [[Messiah]] like David.

When David went to Achish king of Gath of the Philistines, the Philistines recognized him. David pretended to be insane and escaped from the danger. When he fled to Moab, east of Israel, the prophet Gad delivered God’s will to him to return to Judah. David obeyed his words and returned to Judah, but his life of fleeing continued ([https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=1+Samuel+21-23&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 1 Samuel 21–23]). | When David went to Achish king of Gath of the Philistines, the Philistines recognized him.
