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.

Don’t give up, here I am
And if you need a helping hand
I’m gonna be right here with you
I can feel a knowing here between us
(Yes you walk on the path I walk to)
It takes just one second, one moment to change your life
But deep down you know it’s lies
Suddenly your deepest fears are spoken
(But you can’t let your spirit be broken)
It takes just one second to stand up and say it’s my life
I won’t give up, don’t give up, here I am
And if you need a helping hand
I’m gonna be right here with you
You’re not alone, I’ve been there too
And I understand what you go through
I’m gonna be right here with you
Right here with you
Sometimes there is not a rhyme or reason
(So you search for something to believe in)
But life is a dance and the answer to living is love
Don’t give in, don’t give up, here I am
And if you need a helping hand
I’m gonna be right here with you
You’re not alone, I’ve been there too
And I understand what you go through
I wanna be right here with you
You will never be the same
And see the rainbow through the pain
Let your heart be strong
Feel the golden sun
Don’t give up, here I am
And if you need a helping hand
I’m gonna be right here with you
You’re not alone, I’ve been there too
And I understand what you go through
I wanna be right here with you
Right here with you
Don’t give in, don’t give up
Don’t give in, don’t give up
Yes I’ll always be right here with you
Don’t give in, don’t give up
I’ll always be right here with you
Don’t give in, don’t give up
Yes I’ll always be right here with you
Don’t give up, here I am
And if you need a helping hand
I wanna be right here with you
