David set the foundations for the First Temple. He, together with Samuel, created its blueprints and ascertained its precise location. He amassed vast amounts of materiel for its construction.
David conquered all of his nation's enemies.
David gave us the book of Psalms.
David was the impetus for a great, national push of repentance and drawing near to God.
King David's contributions for the construction of the prospective temple included his "special property" of gold and silver, to the amount of more than $1,202,000,000. In turn, the princes and the chiefs of the people happily contributed over $1,993,000,000, in gold and silver, besides copper, iron, and stones. (1Chronicle 29:1-9)
The Bible says that David was a great king who led his armies to conquer vast territories from neighbouring countries. There is archaeological evidence of a period of Israelite military expansion and archaeologists have assumed a date during the reign of King David, because this matches the biblical record.
However, recent evidence is leading scholars to the view that David was not a king, but only a local chieftain. On this view, he did not lead any great conquests, and the archaeological evidence of military expansion is gradually being redated to the time of King Omri. Scholars agree that David was a historical leader in Judah, but the majority consensus is that there never was a United Monarchy of Israel.
