David (/ˈdeɪvɪd/; Hebrew: דָּוִד, Modern David, Tiberian Dāwîḏ;ISO 259-3 Dawid; Arabic: داوُد Dāwūd; Syriac: ܕܘܝܕ Dawid; Ancient Greek: Δαυίδ; Latin: Davidus, David; Strong's: Daveed) was, according to the Books of Samuel, the second king of the United Kingdom of Israel, and according to the New Testament, an ancestor of Jesus. His life is conventionally dated to c. 1040 – 970 BCE, his reign over Judah c. 1010–970 BCE.
The Books of Samuel, 1 Kings, and 1 Chronicles are the only Old Testament sources of information on David, although the Tel Dan Stele (dated c. 850–835 BCE) contains the phrase בית דוד (bytdwd), read as "House of David", which many scholars confirm to be a likely plausible match to the existence in the mid-9th century BCE of a Judean royal dynasty called the House of David.
Depicted as a valorous warrior of great renown, and a poet and musician credited for composing much of the psalms contained in the Book of Psalms, King David is widely viewed as a righteous and effective king in battle and civil justice. He is described as a man after God's own heart in 1 Samuel 13:14 and Acts 13:22.

Plot: The meaning of family in American society today has come a long way since its ideals were molded into the concept of the nuclear family. At times nuanced and at times controversial, there have been undeniable shifts in defining, or more accurately deconstructing what a modern family means. This documentary, aimed at understanding what its like to be an interracial adoptive family, follows three families who adopted baby girls from China. They reveal the challenges of 'looking different', the value of always being truthful and open to each other, and the ability to come together to a place they call home, no matter what. Their stories have come to be an expression of familial bonds that transcends traditional constructs by blood, race, or even national origin.
