Eras of Ancient Jewish HistoryUnited Monarchy 1025-928 B.C.  Saul and David Clipart.com The period of the united monarchy begins when the judge Samuel reluctantly anoints Saul as king of the tribes of Israel. During his kingship, the Philistines attack and the young shepherd David volunteers for a one-on-one with the fiercest of the Philistines, a giant named Goliath. With one stone from his slingshot, David fells the Philistine and wins a reputation that outshines Saul's. When Saul dies, David replaces him as king and when David dies, his son by Bathsheba becomes the wise King Solomon. This information is basically from the Bible, with only occasional support from archaeology. - Patriarchal Era
