David
David, meaning 'beloved,' was Israel's greatest king and the author of many Psalms. He was chosen by God not for outward appearance but for his heart (1 Samuel 16:7). Despite his failures — most notably adultery and murder — he is called 'a man after God's own heart.' His covenant with God included the promise that the Messiah would come from his lineage, fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
