King David-1020 to 922 B.C
David was a great Israelite king who reigned for forty years in the first part of the tenth century BCE. According to this account, he made great conquests, creating an empire that stretched from the Euphrates River all the way to Egypt. Biblical tradition says that David founded a dynasty that continued uninterrupted in Judah until the Babylonian conquests. He became so important in Jewish tradition that many of the psalms were eventually attributed to him.
