King David's reign was significant in unifying the 12 tribes of Israel into a single nation and establishing Jerusalem as its capital. This fulfilled God's promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that their descendants would inherit the land. However, the principle of monarchy was not established as absolute, as seen in later biblical narratives and the eventual division of Israel into two kingdoms. Israeli claims to the East Bank of the Jordan were not a part of King David's rule and were only established much later in history. There is also no evidence to suggest that David's empire lasted for centuries or that his ruling family has lasted to the present day.
