David (Hebrew: דָּוִד, דָּוִיד, Modern David Tiberian Dāwîḏ; ISO 259-3 Dawid; Strong's Daveed; beloved; Arabic: داوود or داود Dāwūd) was, according to the Hebrew Bible, the second king of the United Kingdom of Israel and, according to the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke, an ancestor of Jesus. David is seen as a major Prophet in Islamic traditions. His life is conventionally dated to c. 1040–970 BC, his reign over Judah c. 1010–1003 BC,[citation needed] and his reign over the United Kingdom of Israel c. 1003–970 BC.[citation needed] The Books of Samuel, 1 Kings, and 1 Chronicles are the only sources of information on David, although the Tel Dan stele records "House of David", which some take as confirmation of the existence in the mid-9th century BC of a Judean royal dynasty called the "House of David".
David is very important to Jewish, Christian and Islamic doctrine and culture. In Judaism, David, or David HaMelekh, is the King of Israel, and the Jewish people. Jewish tradition maintains that a direct descendant of David will be the Messiah. In Islam, he is known as Dawud, considered to be a prophet and the king of a nation. He is depicted as a righteous king, though not without faults, as well as an acclaimed warrior, musician, and poet, traditionally credited for composing many of the psalms contained in the Book of Psalms.

Now you say you're lonely
you cry the long night through
well, you can cry me a river
cry me a river
i cried a river over you
now you say you're sorry
for being so untrue
well, you can cry me a river
cry me a river
i cried a river over you
you drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
while you never shed a tear
remember, i remember, all that you said?
you told me love was too plebeian
told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
well, just to prove that you do
come on and cry me a river
cry me a river
i cried a river over you
i cried a river over you
i cried a river... over you...
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
while you never shed a tear
remember, i remember, all that you said?
you told me love was too plebeian
told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
well, just to prove that you do
come on and cry, cry, cry me a river
cry me a river
i cried, i cried, i cried a river over you
if my pillow talk, imagine what it would have said
could it be a river of tears i cried instead?
well you can cry me a river
go ahead and cry me a river
'cause i cried, i cried a river over you
