When was david king of israel?
Another answer from our community:
David reigned from 1077-1038 BCE. David was anointed as king on three different occasions: once by Samuel, later by the men of Judah, and finally by all the tribes. (1Sa 16:13; 2Sa 2:4; 5:3)
In Hebron, the older men of Judah anointed him as king over their tribe in 1077 B.C.E., when he was 30 years old. David ruled at Hebron seven and a half years before moving his capital, at Jehovah's direction, to the captured Jebusite stronghold, Jerusalem. There he built the City of David on Zion and continued to rule another 33 years.
