# 2 Samuel 5:19

> So David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hand.”

## Who ruled

- **David**, king of Israel, 1010-970 BC · Source: 2 Samuel 5:4-5, which gives the length of the reign; the Tel Dan stele, which mentions the "house of David" (the oldest record of the name outside the Bible)
