About

David rose from humble shepherd to become Israel's greatest king, a man described as being after God's own heart. His story encompasses both tremendous faith and human failure, from slaying Goliath to his affair with Bathsheba.

As a young shepherd, David's courage and faith led him to face the giant Goliath with only a sling and five stones. As king, he united Israel, captured Jerusalem, and brought the Ark of the Covenant to the city with dancing and celebration.

David represents the complexity of faith—one can be deeply devoted yet deeply flawed, capable of great courage and great sin, always dependent on divine grace for redemption.

Famous Story

When all Israel's warriors feared Goliath, the young shepherd David stepped forward. 'You come against me with sword and spear,' he said, 'but I come against you in the name of the Lord.' A single stone from his sling struck the giant down.

If You Match

Your features carry the passionate spirit of David. There is a warrior-poet quality to your appearance—the look of one who can fight giants and write psalms, capable of both great courage and deep feeling.
