King David is a spiritual figure in the Judaic tradition, who is revered as a leader, an ancestor, and a source of divine grace and power. He is known for the narrative of his ascension from humble shepherd to King of Israel, and is remembered both in scripture (2 Samuel chapters 1-24) and in Judaic liturgy as a symbol of communal strength and moral leadership. He is a powerful force in the spiritual imagination of Jews throughout the world, and is often credited as the shepherd king who unified the peoples of ancient Israel under a single spiritual covenant. To this day, the story of King David's rise to kingship provides an enduring source of both physical and spiritual power, courage and faith.
