David, the second king of Israel, rose to prominence after Saul. Around 1000 BCE, he consolidated the northern tribes of Israel and the southern tribe of Judah into a unified monarchy. His reign is often described as a "golden age" in biblical tradition. One of his most enduring achievements was making Jerusalem the capital city, not only politically but also religiously, by bringing the Ark of the Covenant there. This act symbolized the centralization of worship and governance, laying the groundwork for Jerusalem’s enduring significance in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions.
