When Saul died, David was crowned king. David united the tribes and continued the fight against the Philistines and other enemies. He captured Jerusalem and made it his capital, starting its transformation into one of history’s most important cities.

David’s son Solomon inherited a peaceful kingdom. He built a great stone temple in Jerusalem. Solomon’s Temple became the focus of religious life. Solomon used trade and taxes to fund other huge building projects. However, most of the tax burden fell on the northern tribes, who came to resent Solomon’s

Answer 1

I think David was very kind and generous. Many kings in the past were incredibly greedy and selfish. So many people were probably like "Wow he's nice".

Probably got this wrong. lol

Answer 2

I think David sounds heroic, you can tell from the first paragraph that he's a very independent and brave man. my reaction to the second paragraph was calm, however at the end it states that they started to resent solomon. This is because he used the trade for big projects but didnt think about how the taxes would go to the northen tribes. it seems solomon's idea was a good intention but didn't go the way he wante or expected it to.

srry if it wrong :P peace
