King David was the second king of Israel and the son of Jesse. The names of his brothers were Eliab, Abinadab, Shammah, and Shimeah. He also had three other brothers. Before he was anointed by Samuel, he was a shepherd boy. He killed the giant Goliath with a stone. He ruled Israel for forty years and had many sons.
